Total preparation time: 40 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Number of servings: 7 pancakes

Necessary ingredients:

For the batter:
- 75 g butter (at room temperature)
- 1 egg
- 350 g yogurt (or buttermilk)
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 vial rum essence
- 200 g plum pulp (without pits)
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons oil (for greasing the pan)
- Cinnamon to taste

For the topping:
- 200 g plum pulp
- 100 g powdered sugar

Preparation:

1. Preparing the plums: Start by washing the plums under a stream of cold water. Carefully open them and remove the pits. Cut the plums into small cubes, then sprinkle cinnamon to taste. This will add a warm and comforting flavor to your pancakes, perfect for cool mornings.

2. Mixing the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, add the butter at room temperature. Use a mixer to blend it well with the sugar until you achieve a creamy mixture. Add the egg and yogurt (or buttermilk) and mix until smooth.

3. Adding the dry ingredients: To the same mixture, add the packet of baking powder, salt, and rum essence. Mix well, then gradually incorporate the flour, stirring constantly. Finally, add the plum cubes and gently mix to distribute them evenly in the batter.

4. Baking the pancakes: Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Use a silicone brush to lightly grease the pan with 2-3 drops of oil. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into the hot pan and level it with a spoon to cover as much surface area as possible. Let the pancake cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip it with a spatula and cook the other side until golden.

5. Continue cooking the pancakes until you exhaust the entire batter. You should get about 7 fluffy pancakes.

6. Preparing the topping: For a delicious topping, process the 200 g of plum pulp with the powdered sugar in a food processor for 1 minute. The mixture will become a fine paste, perfect to serve alongside the pancakes.

7. Serving: These pancakes with plums and cinnamon can be served warm or cold, depending on your preferences. You can add the plum topping on top or serve the pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

Helpful tips:
- If you want to add a crunchy note, you can sprinkle ground nuts or almond flakes over the pancakes before flipping them.
- Instead of plums, you can experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as apples or peaches, for an interesting variation.
- These pancakes pair wonderfully with Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.

Nutritional benefits:
These pancakes with plums are rich in fiber due to the fruits, and yogurt provides beneficial probiotics for digestion. All-purpose flour can be replaced with whole wheat flour for an extra nutrient boost.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other fruits instead of plums? Yes, you can replace plums with other seasonal fruits, such as apples or peaches.
- How can I store leftovers? The pancakes store well in the refrigerator in an airtight container and can be reheated in the microwave.

The perfect combination:
