Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 270 g (2 cups) self raising flour
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 55 g (¼ cup) caster sugar
  • 350 ml (1 ½) cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 50 g 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 125g (1 cup) blueberries

Equipment

  • Digital scales
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Whisk
  • Frying pan
  • Girdle pan

Method
 

Mix all the dry ingredients together
  1. Masure out the flour, salt, baking powder and caster sugar and add them to a mixing bowl.
    Give everything a little mix together.
Mix the wet ingredients
  1. Measure the milk out in a jug.
    Crack both the eggs into a small bowl then add it to your milk.
    Finally, measure out the butter and melt it in the microwave (or in a small pan on the hob). Add it to the milk and egg mixture and whisk it all together.
Make the blueberry pancake batter
  1. Make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients then slowly pour in the milk/egg mixture. Whisk it together until all the flour is mixed in and you have a nice smooth batter.
  2. If you have time, leave the pancake batter to rest, preferably in the fridge, for about ten minutes. This will help them to rise and be super light and fluffy.
Cook the blueberry pancakes
  1. Heat a little oil in a frying pan or skillet then drop 2 spoons of batter on top of each other into the pan. Depending on the size of your pan, you should be able to cook a few drop scones at the same time. We were able to do 3 without them touching.
  2. Cook the pancakes over a medium heat for a few minutes until little air bubbles start coming to the surface. Use a spatula,to gently flip them over and cook them for another minute or so on the other side. They're ready when they are nice and golden on both sides.
  3. Remove your pancakes from the pan and pop them on a baking tray covered with foil or a clean tea towel to keep warm while you make the rest.
