Method

Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl with the caster sugar. Mix, then make a well in the centre and gradually stir in the eggs and milk, until you have a smooth batter.
Roughly chop the leftover Christmas pudding and mix into the batter. Stand for 10 minutes, then wipe a frying pan with a little vegetable oil and put over a medium heat.
When hot, pour 2-3 large spoonfuls of the pancake mixture into the pan. Once bubbles form on the surface, flip over for another minute, then stack on a warmed plate. Repeat to use up the remaining batter, then serve with leftover brandy butter.
