About this Blueberry Pancakes
Fluffy American pancakes are thick, soft and slightly sweet, with a golden surface and a light inside. A little baking powder does the lifting, and blueberries dropped onto the batter in the pan burst as they cook. Do not over-mix: a few lumps are what keep them light.
Ingredients
- 250 gPlain Flour
- 10 gBaking Powder
- 400 mlMilk
- 3 eachEggs
- 50 gButter, 30 g melted for the batter, the rest for the pan
- 200 gBlueberries
- 50 gHoney, to serve
Plus water and a little salt to taste.
How to prepare Blueberry Pancakes
Whisk the flour and baking powder together in a large bowl and make a well in the middle.
In a jug, beat the eggs with the milk and the melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. A few small lumps are fine. Leave the batter to rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and rub it with a little butter.
Pour in a ladleful of batter for each pancake and scatter a few blueberries on top. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and burst on the surface and the underside is golden.
Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest, buttering the pan between batches.
Stack the pancakes on warm plates and drizzle with honey.

Tips
- The first pancake is the test. If it browns too quickly, turn the heat down.
- Do not press the pancakes down with the spatula: you squash out the air.
- Leftovers freeze well, layered with baking paper, and reheat in the toaster.
