- Preheat a non-stick frying pan, scoop out 2 tablespoons onto a hot pan. Cook for approx. 4 mins on one side, until bubbles form and the top sets gently. Flip to the other side and cook for 2 more minutes.
For the Raspberry Syrup
- Place all ingredients in a blender and mix together just until combined. Pour over your pancake stack and decorate with some extra fresh fruit if desired.
