When discussing flavors and aromas associated with autumn, this dish is definitely in my top 3 list.

Quick plum pancakes. An autumn hit
We love pancakes, and these beautifully risen ones, almost resembling doughnuts, are our pride and joy. However, we don’t always have the time to prepare yeast dough for pancakes, so we take shortcuts and simply use baking soda or baking powder instead. The effect isn’t the same, but these cute, crispy small pancakes have also successfully settled into our kitchens.
These quick little pancakes are exactly what I love to prepare in autumn, when it’s gray outside, and my plate is filled with warmth and warm colors. Warming soups, aromatic meats, and desserts wrapped in a blanket of spicy aromas are exactly what most of us need in autumn to fend off those sneaky autumn blues. That’s why delicious plum pancakes, made with a fruit that wonderfully fits in autumnal compositions, are a perfect start to the day or an even better end to it. And making them is a breeze.
