Method

  1. Mix together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Beat the egg with the milk, make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and whisk in the milk to make a thick smooth batter. Beat in the melted butter, and gently stir in half the blueberries.
  2. Heat a teaspoon of oil or small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Drop a large tablespoonful of the batter per pancake into the pan to make pancakes about 7.5cm across. Make three or four pancakes at a time. Cook for about 3 minutes over a medium heat until small bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden. Cover with kitchen paper to keep warm while you use up the rest of the batter. Serve with golden syrup and the rest of the blueberries.

    A delicious alternative breakfast. Make sure that the heat is low - medium, not to cook the pancakes too quickly on the outside.

    I make this recipe all the time, but I substitute the milk with buttermilk and add 2 tbs golden syrup. The teenagers love them. I usually end up making 3 quantities to feed all the sleepover guests.

    I made these for mygrown up son on pancake day, halved the recipe as only him eating them. They were a big hit. I think I'll be asked for them again and again.

    I always make these pancakes but I also substitute in buttermilk in place of the regular milk. When making for my 2 year old I also add 2 tbsp. of steamed and then pureed sweet potato. Sounds strange but it works. Gives a hint of sweetness but also gives the goodness of the vegetable, even the adults like it. I agree that a low-medium heat is best so not to leave the centres uncooked and soggy. Once the bubbles start appearing when cooking, you can lift the pancake up with the spatula to see if it is brown enough for your liking. When buying the blueberries make sure they aren't the oversized ones as they aren't as tasty as smaller pea sized ones and can be messy for young kids. I also serve them with a few strips of bacon and of course a drizzle of Canadian maple syrup.

    The batter had that perfect consistency (not too liquid not to thick) that can be hard to find in pancake recipes. Excellent with raspberries too.

    After reading all the reviews for the pancakes I was still a little concerned that they may be a little stodgy - how wrong I was! They were incredibly light and so easy to make, I'll certainly be making these again. I used frozen blueberries as I didn't have any fresh ones, but it made absolutely no difference. Highly recommended!

    This recipe has become the children's choice for their birthday breakfasts. A huge favourite and now in my binder. We've been putting bananas in ours with yoghurt and fruit on the top.

    Very popular with my grandchildren - used blackcurrants as I had some in the freezer. Cooked them slightly first with just a little sugar.

    a great recipe,but to render fully golden pancakes add the blueberries when you pour the batter on the griddle rather than mix them in so you dont rupture the berries and have them spill there juices causing a bluish-gray pancake.

    Nevermind what i said before. you should use 2 large eggs instead of 1 also dont use self rising flour and use a 1/2Tablespoon of baking soda,and use buttermilk and you will get a much lighter fluffier pancake,I would know im an American =]
