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 two sons and hubby hate English (lacey) Pancakes...I KNOW!!! So I sought out an american pancake recipe, as it's pancake day I'm certainly not going to miss out!! This recipe is fab! I'm really impatient and cooked them on an medium/high heat which resulted in burnt outsides and uncooked middles. So I turned on my timer and turned down the heat and they were perfect!! I omitted the blueberries and melted butter as it didn't seem necessary. My family LOVE these by the way, especially smothered in Golden Syrup :-)

    Lovely fluffy pancakes, perfect with maple syrup and crisp bacon. Added the blueberries to the pancakes in the pan and used a small amount of spray oil. Will definitely make again. Quick and tasty :)

    What's the best solution for making gluten free, I would love to try them. Gluten free flour + xanthan gum? Any help would be appreciated.

    This sounds mouth watering. Originally I was going to make this pancakes recipe http://cookingwithtricia.ca/simple-romantic-recipes/pancakes-recipe/pancakes-recipe/, however I might have to rethink that. Loraine

    Really lovely recipe. I had made 2 batches and ended up with some batter left over so made some tiny ones and had them the following day as blinis - lovely with cream cheese and smoked salmon!

    Delicious but slightly better once I'd added a bit of caster sugar. Made a lot more than 10 for me! Simple and yummy.

    I made these without the blueberries, and added strawberries after cooking for a different breakfast and they were lovely!! We got a little more than 10, but who is complaining! Can't wait to make these for guests and to try the pancakes with different accompaniment :) Very good low fat version of the American pancake!

    These pancakes were delicious and easy to make! And so good with syrup and extra fresh fruit! I actually made about 25 smaller ones instead of 10, but they were still yummy. A great weekend breakfast treat! Also, can't believe how low cal they are - an added bonus :D

    The recipe states "beat in the melted butter". I don't see anywhere in the list of ingredients where melted butter is mentioned or the amount?!

    These are so quick and absolutely delicious. I also make some extra ones for daughter who works late, she'll just reheat in the microwave for 30 secs approx. A big hit.

    I love these!! & so do my kids!! I must admit I used to make pancake with soda bread flour and estimate the consistency which worked ok for full pan sized giant ones but since tryin these I haven't looked back!! I substitute with buttermilk too and soak raisins in warm water & brown sugar with a good spoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it onto the mixture just after puttin them on the pan. Yummy!!!
