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.

    My pancakes came out tasting ok (with additional 1 tbsp of sugar) but the consistency was disappointingly heavy and dense.

    I love these pancakes! So easy to make & delicious. I make them for lunchbox treats. They freeze really well (I layer them in greaseproof paper), and are defrosted in time for teabreak/lunch.

    I left out the blueberries, used a mixture of natural yoghurt and milk, and added two tablespoons of golden syrup.... Lush :-)

    Best home made American pancake ever! Totally enjoyed it! We had it with some sliced fresh fruit and a dash of a superb organic Canadian Maple syrup (totally worth the "investment") - some freshly squeezed blood oranges juice. A super healthy and delish start to the day! ;)

    Perfect fluffy pancakes - although I left out the pancakes! I got more like 15 pancakes out of the recipe, but they were probably a little smaller. Agree that you need to cook at a relatively low heat to get the best result. Delicious with strawberries and maple syrup

    They were easy to make and just like the real ones. Four stars because I couldn't make them round. Using some kind of an egg shaper could perhaps ensure that they stay round.
