Once done, drizzle maple syrup on it before serving.
American pancakes
Mix flour, salt, baking powder, white sugar, milk, eggs, and some melted butter until smooth. Once done, heat up a pan with a light amount of oil in it. Transfer a ladle full of batter to it to make one pancake. Brown it on both sides. Following this step, cook two to three more pancakes. Plate them and drizzle some maple syrup on top.
Maple syrup pudding
Prepare topping by combining double cream, maple syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil and then pour it on the base of a pudding glass. Separately, sift some flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, beat eggs, maple syrup, butter, and sugar and combine the two. Pour this mixture into the glass and steam it for 1.5 hours. Serve topped with maple syrup.
Maple plum crumble
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Cut plums in halves, drizzle some maple syrup and then roast them for 10 minutes. Grab a bowl and mix some butter, flour, oats, sugar, and cinnamon until you get some rough crumbs. To this, add the roasted plums and drizzle the top with some more maple syrup. Bake and serve fresh.
