Method

  1. First, put the flour, cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda in the bowl. Mix them well with the fork. Drop the golden syrup into the dry ingredients along with the blueberries and lemon zest.
  2. Pour the milk into a measuring jug. Now break in the egg and mix well with a fork. Pour most of the milk mixture into the bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula. Keep adding more milk until you get a smooth, thick, pouring batter.
  3. Heat the frying pan and brush with a little butter. Then spoon in the batter, 1 tbsp at a time, in heaps. Bubbles will appear on top as the pancakes cook - turn them at this stage, using the metal spatula to help you. Cook until brown on the second side, then keep warm on a plate, covered with foil. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.

    These were very easy to make,very similar to a savoury version (minus the fruit) that I use instead of yorkshire puddings.i didn't have any golden syrup so I used honey instead and I don't think this made a difference besides being a tiny bit healthier.i found them a little bit bland until I drizzled a minute amount of honey over each one and I found that this was enough to satisfy the sweet craving without reaching for the chocolate!very handy to be able to freeze for another day as a mid morning snack.
