   Warm a pan on a medium to high fire until very warm, melt a little lump of butter and poor in a soup spoon (about 7cl) of the pancake batter. Immediately swirl the pan around to thin out the batter and make a pancake a little thicker than a crepe. Push slices of persimmon in the batter and sprinkle with half a tablespoon of sugar.
