- Beat the eggs and a pinch of salt until frothy. Add the buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla and beat well. Sieve the flour twice and then mix the flour with the sugar and the baking powder then sieve again twice to aerate. Add the dry mixture to the liquid and quickly beat just enough to make a smooth batter, but not too long or the pancakes will be too heavy. Put the mixture into a jug so it's easy to pour into the pan.
- Put a little oil on a piece of kitchen roll and rub over a heavy-based frying pan. Heat the pan (but not too hot). Pour in a couple of spoonfuls for little pancakes, more for bigger ones. Now sprinkle a few blueberries over the top of each pancake. Cook gently until the top is all bubbled like a crumpet, but golden brown around the edges. Flip and cook for a further minute or so. The blueberries will start to pop, so be careful when you lift them out. You may need to rub the pan with a little more oil between each batch. Serve with maple syrup and crème fraîche.
TIP
You can make these pancakes any size you want and serve with maple syrup, crème fraîche or ice cream. Or, go savoury with rashers of crisp bacon.
