This Sticky Toffee Pudding Pancakes recipe balances effortlessly between being breakfast and dessert. Whether you call them flapjacks (South African), crumpets (if you’re in the UK) or pancakes (if you’re American), around the world we seem to strongly disagree on what exactly they’re named but the one thing we can all agree on is they should be piled high!
The secret is my favourite Natura Sugars Light Muscovado Sugar which is unrefined (all the goodness of the sugar cane is locked in) so is loaded with flavour – so much so that you don’t even need to caramelize it to develop flavour. Simply pop the ingredients in a pot (or jug) and heat until dissolved. I’ve got a jar of this in my fridge right now because I swirl a spoonful into my morning oats. Breakfast goals!

Serves 4-6
200g Natura Sugars Light Muscovado Sugar
300g cake flour
7.5ml (1/2 tbsp) baking powder
pinch of salt
1 large egg
125ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk
5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
300ml milk
90g butter, melted
100g fresh dates, finely chopped
TOFFEE SAUCE
100g Natura Sugars Light Muscovado Sugar
60ml cream
45g salted butter
To make the sticky toffee pudding pancakes, mix all the dry ingredients together. Whisk the egg, buttermilk, vanilla and milk and add to dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and dates. The mixture should be of a dropping consistency. Heat a non-stick pan and grease thoroughly. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan. When bubbles start to form on the surface, flip the flapjacks over and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep warm while you make the sauce. To make the toffee sauce, place the sugar in a small saucepan with the cream and butter and stir over low heat until dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Allow to cool slightly.
