Summer Pancake Pudding

Another recipe for leftover pancakes.

7-10 uneaten drop scones
Approx. 500g mixed berries
3 tbsp vanilla sugar
3 tbsp water

Line a pudding basin with cling film.

Put the berries in a pan with the water and sugar, leaving out strawberries and anything else that would go squidgy. My mix was about half strawberries with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Bring to a simmer then gently heat for about five minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat. Strain the fruit, reserving the syrup.

Add the strawberries to the other fruit.

Line the basin by soaking pancakes in the syrup then laying them in an overlapping pattern.

Fill the pudding with fruit and lay the remaining pancakes over the top.

Close the cling film over the pudding. Place a small plate over the top and weight with cans. Chill for at least two hours.
