4 servings

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Pour one-third of the pancake batter into a hot, buttered pan.
2. Arrange the rubbed, pitted plums, open side up, next to each other.
3. Pour the remaining batter over them and bake the pancake over moderate heat until the plums are soft and the pancake is golden brown on both sides; cover the pan as soon as the batter has set a little.
4. Serve very hot, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
