  9. Flip the pancakes over and cook for about 30 more seconds. Turn the heat down to 200 degrees and continue to flip about every minute. Continue this for around 10-12 minutes. The persimmon pulp takes a while to set up in this recipe.
  10. Take them off the griddle and let them set up for about 5 minutes.

Notes

You can flatten the pancakes as they are cooking to make sure the inside is cooking through. 
These take a lot longer than regular pancakes, because of the pulp. It is very thick and takes a while to cook. 
Continue to flip every minute for about 10-12 minutes to make sure the insides are done.
They will set up a little more while they cool.
