Method

Stack the pancakes, top with the cherries, and drizzle with the hot chocolate sauce.

Melt chocolate, double cream, and vanilla seeds in a bowl over simmering water until smooth.

Combine cherries, orange juice, zest, and Kirsch in a hot pan and flambé for one minute.

Whisk eggs, flour, and baking powder in a bowl, then add milk to form a thick batter.

Fry spoonfuls of batter for two minutes per side until golden-brown.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and wipe away the excess.

Add a pinch of salt and let the batter rest for five minutes.
