From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

For the pancakes:
200g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
400ml almond milk
2 tsp sunflower oil
For the cherry, chocolate and almond compote:
200g cherries, stones removed
4 tbsp maple syrup
100g dark chocolate, grated
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp flaked almonds
4 tbsp sunflower oil for cooking
Method
1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla extract, almond milk and sunflower oil until smooth. Refrigerate for a couple of hours, or overnight.
2. To make the compote, add the cherries and maple syrup to a pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring frequently for 4-5 minutes. Stir through the grated dark chocolate, almond extract and flaked almonds (reserving a few flaked almonds for sprinkling), and cook for a further minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. To make the pancakes, heat the sunflower oil in a frying/pancake pan. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a teaspoon sized amount of the pancake batter into the pan, if it sizzles and starts to go golden, it's ready. For each pancake, add in about 2 tbsp of batter, flattening it out with the spoon. When the first side is golden after a minute or so, flip over and cook the other side.
4. To assemble, fill the pancake with the compote, fold over and sprinkle with a few flaked almonds. Serve immediately.
