Instructions
Roasted Plums
  1. In a medium size sauce pan combine together plums, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon and cloves. Cover the pan and over medium heat, (5 out of 10) brig to simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes or until plums are tender, but still hold their shape.
  2. Take off the heat, cover and keep warm.
Pancakes
  1. In a small sauce pan mix together golden rum and raisins. Over medium heat (5 out of 10) bring to simmer, take off heat and set aside. Note: drain off the rum before using for baking the pancake.
  2. With hand held mixer on high speed, in a medium size mixing bowl beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick and light in color.
  3. Mix in the milk following with melted butter, salt and flour. Mix until there are no lumps, do not overbeat!
  4. In a separate medium size mixing bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  5. Add about 1/4 of egg whites to the egg yolk bowl and stir to lighten it up.
  6. Fold in the rest of the egg whites to finish off making a pancake batter.
  7. Over medium heat (5 out of 10) heat up 12″ non-stick skillet with 1 tbsp of butter.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, sprinkle with 1/2 of drained raisins. Cook until the underside is golden brown and the pancake is starting to set around the edges, about 3 minutes.
  9. Although the top of batter is still uncooked, using a heat proof plastic spatula cut the pancake in quarters. Flip each quarter over. They will be likely difficult to turn, fall on each other etc. Don’t worry, just slide them back in skillet. If necessary use another plastic spatula or your other hand to make it easier to turn.
  10. Using the edge of the spatula, cut the pancake quarters in bite size pieces (~1″x 2″). Keep turning pieces as necessary and cook until golden brown, about 3 more minutes.
  11. Transfer to the large serving plate, sprinkle with sifted confectioners’ sugar.
  12. Repeat the same process with the other half of the batter.
  13. Serve immediately with roasted plums as a side.
