Ingredients

1 cup of self raising flour (white or wholemeal)

pinch of salt

1 large beaten egg

3/4 cup of blueberries

1/2 - 3/4 cup of milk

Oil or unsalted butter for frying

Maple syrup to serve (with cream if you fancy)

Preparation

  1. Put a large, heavy bottomed frying pan or flat griddle on a medium heat.
  2. Sift the flour (if you have the time!) and fork together with the beaten egg.
  3. Add the milk a bit at a time and mix until smooth. You want a good dropping consistency. (The amount of milk will vary according to the size of your egg).
  4. Once the batter is ready, stir in the blueberries gently.
  5. Spoon out the mixture into your pan with a large serving spoon. Watch until the pancakes start showing air bubbles in the surface, then turn.
  6. Eaten immediately with maple syrup, cream, bananas, more fruit… whatever you like!

Note: If you are using wholemeal flour, try heating your pan to a slightly lower temperature and add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Your pancakes will take slightly longer to cook but will be less likely to be doughy and heavy.
