New Found Love (Plum Japanese Style Pancakes)

With all the hype on Japanese pancakes all over social media, I had to join the trend 😬 After two failed attempts and a thousand youtube videos, I finally got it right! Sometime last week, my mum requested for pancakes and it was a work free day for me so I felt it was the perfect time to showcase my new found love….Japanese pancakes! I wanted to go all out so I had to make a topping, thankfully I had some plum in the refrigerator. This combo was so good, I have to share the recipe with you…
