Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 2 tbsp ground wattleseed, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
- Step 2: In another bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups milk and 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter until smooth.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined with a few lumps remaining.
- Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Step 5: Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Step 6: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup Davidson’s plum jam and 1/4 cup water. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until syrupy and warm.
- Step 7: Serve the wattleseed pancakes drizzled generously with the Davidson’s plum syrup.
