Coconut pancakes with cherry-lime compote

Step by Step

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients with a pinch of salt, then whisk to mix. Add the eggs and 100ml rice milk and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the remaining rice milk and 1 tsp lime juice.

Step 2

Line a cooling rack with kitchen paper. Heat 2 tsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan and, using a dessert spoon, add 4 generously heaped and well-spaced spoons of batter. Keep the heat low, and cover with a lid. Cook for 3 minutes, until puffed and dry at the edges. Flip and cook for 30-60 seconds more. Move to the cooling rack. Add 1 tsp oil, cook the next batch, and repeat to make 12 pancakes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, put the cherries into a frying pan or large saucepan with the sugar and lime juice. Simmer rapidly for 8-10 minutes until the cherries are soft but just holding their shape. Drain in a sieve over a jug. Return the juice to the pan, bubble for 2 minutes until syrupy, then return the cherries with most of the lime zest. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

Reheat the pancakes, if needed. Serve 3 pancakes per plate, with the warm cherries spooned over, plenty of coconut yogurt, and the remaining lime zest sprinkled over.
