Baking Blueberry Pancakes

I love baking, and as I haven’t done any in a while I thought I would try out this great recipe I found on BBC Good Food. It’s so simple and the results are amazing.

All you need is:

• 200g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 300ml milk
• knob of butter
• 150g of blueberries
• sunflower oil or a little butter for cooking
• golden/maple syrup or honey

You need to mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a large bowl, and make a well in the middle of the bowl to pour in the milk and beaten egg. Mix the ingredients altogether to make a smooth batter, and then add the melted butter and half of the blueberries.

Heat the oil/butter in a non stick frying pan, and drop a large tablespoonful of batter into the pan. I used a small pan and made 1 pancake at a time, cooking each side for about 3 minutes to ensure they were thoroughly cooked and golden.

I served them with honey as a healthier alternative to maple syrup and then decorated with blueberries. Yum!

Will you try making these?
