Poppy Seed Pancakes with Plum Sauce

First, prepare the plum sauce: Place plums, water, sugar, and lemon juice into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to medium and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce thickens, remove it from the heat.

Meanwhile, prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, mix eggs, beer, and milk. Add flour, sugar, and baking powder. Work into a smooth batter, then finally mix in poppy seeds and a pinch of salt.

In a large pan, melt 1⁄2 of the butter and fry the pancakes over low to medium heat until golden brown (1–2 minutes per side).
