Add the ginger syrup and bubble for 5 minutes or until syrupy. Add the chopped ginger to the rhubarb and remove from the heat.
2. To make the pancakes, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl, mix thoroughly and make a well in the centre. Whisk together the buttermilk and eggs and pour into the well, stirring until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.

Cook until small bubbles form and the edges begin to turn brown.Turn with a palette knife and cook for a further 1 minute or until cooked through.
