Notes
Tip from my kitchen: Hokkaido pumpkin needs no peeling and cooks ahead beautifully – 150 g (about 5 oz.) puréed disappears completely into the batter and makes the pancakes fluffy and moist at once. No fresh pumpkin? Use pumpkin purée from a jar, or swap it for a ripe banana as in the original recipe. I fold the apple-cinnamon cream into the whipped plant cream only just before serving so it stays airy. Leftover pancakes keep airtight for 2 to 3 days in the fridge and crisp up again nicely in the toaster.
