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.

    Extremely easy and really nice. I doubled the amount of blueberries and that also worked well.

    I used two large eggs instead of one. I also use chopped apple to replace the blueberries on occasion. Scrummy!

    I love these pancakes, I make them for Sunday breakfast regularly!! They are light and fluffy, so easy to make and so delicious, I have substituted the blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, - any mix of fruit, either frozen or fresh and all work great - blueberries & strawberries are my personal favourites. Perfect every time!!

    Absolutely delicious. I really recommend them. I made them for my 8 month old baby boy, and he loved them.

    I find that this is a foolproof recipe for making pancakes. I don't always use blueberries - strawberries/rasberries or any kind of stewed fruit is nice too (I always add a touch of sugar as well to reduce the tartness). A good weekend brekkie! :)

    They tasted delicious!!!! but I don't know how to make for the blueberries to be in the middle of the batter. They were on one of the sides ( by weight) and this causes the surface to burn a little bit. Somebody can help me?

    Fantastic, I have just come home from a holiday in the US, so it brought back memories. I used frozen fruit, it worked really well and microwaved the syrup with the left over fruit....mmmmm!

    I just made these, but without the fruit. They tasted ok, but it took a long time to cook the pancakes (I did 6 at once as I have big pans), but it took a very long time to finish all the pancakes. I didn't think they were amazing and probebly take too long to do to be worth the time.

    Bananas. This is now my 13 year-old son's signature dish. We found frozen fruit prevents the mixture around them cooking, so you get sloppy bits. Better to defrost or even warm the fruit. Strawberries work well, but we come back to bananas.

    Works very well and you don't end up with pancakes sticking in the pan as with other recipes. I found warming the loose blueberrys in the pan for a minutes means there is not such a temperature difference when eating with a hot pancake.
