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.

    I Enjoyed Cooking This Recipe, However I Did Find That The Pancakes Never Rose As Much As It Looks Like It Would So I Added A Extra Half Teaspoon Of Baking Powder And It Worked .... But Thumbs Up To This Recipe.

    Must admit to being a bit sceptical while making them as they looked thicker and stodgier than my usual pancakes but I have to say they were delicious and not stodgy at all!!

    These are OK but I feel they need some sweetness in the actual pancakes too. Not the best pancake recipe I've tried.

    Chef Santiago said: "use 2 large eggs instead of 1 also dont use self rising flour and use a 1/2Tablespoon of baking soda, (bicarbonate of soda) and use buttermilk and you will get a much lighter fluffier pancake" Tried the above and they were lovely . . . ! Variation: - I used semi-skimmed milk as I could not get buttermilk locally and plain flour; worked fine. - Poach eggs - one per person (drippy yoke), - Get some Procciutto, stick it in the oven (med heat), bake for 5mins or so 'till crisp but dont overdo it, - Place egg on top of the pancakes followed by procciutto, then dribble the maple syrup over the lot! Absolutely delicious, yummy !!

    What a recipe, my son and I loved them. I used soya milk instead of normal and added a mashed banana just before cooking. Yummy.

    My daughter now makes these by herself or with pals. We also have begun to prepare the batter ( or she does) and leave it in the fridge and she will make them the next morning before school - some for breakfast and some to school for lunch. Great incentive to get up early. Thank you.

    Wasn't very keen on these pancakes overall, I have definately tasted better receipes before. Would not make these again, unless I changed receipe a bit by adding sugar as well.
