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 perfect midmorning snack. This recipe was very easy to follow and tasted as it was described. I halved my berries, and served them as suggested. Yummy! I look forward to trying them with bananas.

    Brilliant recipe. Will have to try with buttermilk next time. Beats the rubbish one I had recently at Raoul's Deli.

    Made this recently as I was so fed up with the rubbish American pancakes I had in a deli near my place. It turned out really well and everyone loved it. Much nicer than the regular pancakes. Will be making these next Pancake day.

    We make these pancakes every few weekends and they really are lovely. I have a couple of suggestions to make them even tastier: I add a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of vanilla essence if we are having them with fruit as otherwise they are too savoury for my husband and daughter! The biggest tip I would offer is to wait until you have everything ready to go and the pan heated up well before you make the mixture, don't over mix and don't leave the mixture sitting around for too long. The quicker I whisk up the mixture and get it cooking the fluffier and lighter they are!

    Ooops forgot to rate! P.s I used buttermilk once as it was recommended on here and I have to say it made no difference to the texture and just gave a bit of a sour aftertaste, unless you've got it in the house, I wouldn't bother buying it especially!

    These pancakes looks delicious. My latest post is a wonderful version of Crepes, which use a special soaking method to reduce Phytic acid present in all whole grains (this method makes whole grains much more digestible) Check it out: http://www.thenourishingroad.co.uk/2012/02/weekend-treats-crepes.html Natasha
