  • 125 millilitres semi-skimmed milk

Instructions
 

For the pancakes

  • In a large mixing bowl or jug add all the ingredients except the butter, and whisk until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Pre-heat the (flat) girdle or frying pan over a medium heat and wipe with oil or butter.
  • Take a small amount of batter and do a test pancake to make sure that the pan is hot enough.
  • Use a large serving spoon to pour the batter onto the warm girdle or frying pan.
  • Cook for about 2 1/2 minutes, until the bubbles form on the surface and start to pop. Flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • As the pancakes are cooked place them on a cooling tray lined with a clean tea towel, cover the pancakes with the tea towel to keep them warm.
  • Repeat until you have used all the batter, keeping the pan lightly buttered and clean between pancakes.

For the Plum Compote

  • Put the plums, sugar, and water into a pan.
  • Heat gently until the sugar is dissolved then poach for about Poach 20 minutes until the plums are soft, and the compote has thickened.
  • Pour into a bowl and leave to cool to room temperature.
  • Place a pancake on a plate or in a bowl, spoon over the thick Greek yogurt and top with plum compote. Continue with the yogurt and compote and stack the pancakes on top of one another to the desired height! Finish the stock with more yogurt and a large spoonful of compote.
