Sometimes I think I must have a little bit of American in me, but these pancakes are so good, it would be a crime only to have them on Shrove Tuesday. As you can probably guess, they are a regular in our house.
Ingredients
9oz (250g) plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2.5oz (75g) caster sugar
2 eggs
3oz (85g) butter, melted
1/2 pint (300ml) milk
8oz (225g) blueberries plus an extra 2oz (50g) to decorate
Method
1. Sieve all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
2. Add the eggs, melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients.
3. Gently fold in the blueberries.
4. Heat a frying pan and brush lightly with oil.
5. Drop tablespoons of batter into the pan and cook over a low heat until bubbles appear and pop on the surface.
6. Turn the pancakes over and cook the other side.
7. Serve warm with the additional blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
Top tip
Pancakes can be prepared in advance by layering between greaseproof paper and freezing in a bag. To serve, wrap in foil and then place in the oven at gas mark 6/200C for 10 minutes.
