Chocolate pancakes with cherries
Description
The baked dish is prepared simply and quickly. Such pancakes make a lovely breakfast, afternoon snack, or dinner for adults and children. Top them with icing sugar dusted over the top or drizzle with pouring chocolate if you like. Fresh cherries may be used instead, with the pits removed, but then the starch should be stirred into cold water—about 50 millilitres. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
