American-Style Pancakes with Cherry Fromage Frais

Ingredients (Serves 4):

For the pancakes:

175g wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch of salt
40g brown sugar
2 eggs
200ml milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the fromage frais:

1 jar pitted red cherries
250g quark
100g sour cream
75g honey

Method:

Sift the flour and baking powder in to a large bowl. Add salt and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl beat the eggs and mix with milk and 2 tablespoons oil. Add the flour to the egg gradually and blend together until smooth. Leave the batter to rest for 15 minutes.

Drain the cherries. Mix the quark and the sour cream with 40g of honey. Add the cherries and place in the fridge to cool.

Heat a bit of oil in a pan. For each pancake use 2 tablespoons of the batter. Cook several pancakes on each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Take the pancakes out of the pan, place them in an oven dish and into the oven on low heat to keep them warm until the rest of the batter is used up.

To serve, spread a bit of the honey over each pancake and serve together with the cherry Fromage Frais.
