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 really great breakfast eaten in the garden with friends who had stayed the weekend. Used blackcurrants(from the garden) barely cooked with a little sugar. The maple syrup took the rest of the tartness from the blackcurrants. Also used gluten free flour which worked fine. Only complaint was from the 5 year old who said the pancakes weren't round enough!

    This recipe was my introduction to American style pancakes and it was a great one!! I made plane ones with bacon on the side as a �main breakfast� and then the blueberry ones as a �dessert�, yum yum

    Having just come back from America where i had pancakes often, i can tell you that while these pancakes are easy to make and quick, they taste nothing like American pancakes but loads like british pancakes- ie. yorkshire pudding mix.

    These were very good - after using half of the blueberries for the pancake mix, my son made a compote with the rest and we served it with the pancakes and maple syrup - yum!

    One word: Phenomenal! Have attempted and failed to make decent pancakes for years but this recipe was unbelievably good. Didn't bother with the blueberries of knob of butter. Can't wait to make again!

    Made it on Pancake Day for 3 people and they turned out beautifully! My brother was a little iffy over the blueberries for a second or two but he got over it and wolfed these down. I had enough batter left over for another session of pancakes the next day so it's also great for a quick breakfast before work. Nice, thanks!

    Absolutely lovely. Have made a few times for family/friends and always gone down well. Blueberries are a must. We also add in banana, bacon etc.
