Date pancakes

With holidays looming there should be plenty of time to try these soft and light, date pancakes. Cook one first to get the pan temperature right; wait for the mixture to just start bubbling before flipping to cook the other side.

For the pancakes

7 Pitted dates, chopped roughly
½ cup Water
1 tsp Baking powder
2 Tbsp Butter
1½ cups Self raising flour
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 pinch Nutmeg
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Honey
1½ cups Milk
1 tsp Butter, for cooking

For the lemon syrup

½ cup Lemon juice
2 tsp Lemon zest
2 Tbsp Honey
½ cup Mandarin, fresh, in segments, and raspberries

To serve

1 bowl Mascarpone

Directions

  1. Into a small saucepan, place the dates and water, bringing to a boil for 5 minutes. Drain half the liquid. Stir through the baking soda and butter, then allow to cool.
  2. In a bowl place the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. 
  3. Combine the eggs, honey and milk in a bowl. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Fold through the dates. Set aside for 10 minutes or until ready to cook.
  4. In a small pot, combine the lemon juice, zest and honey. Bring to a simmer until it becomes syrupy, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently fold through the fruit.
  5. To cook the pancakes, lightly grease a frying pan with a little butter. Add a ¼ cup of mixture and swirl in the pan a little. Cook for 3 minutes or until just starting to bubble. Turn and cook the other side. Continue with the remaining mixture.
  6. Serve warm with syrup, fruit and a dollop of mascarpone.
