The best fluffy blueberry pancake recipe

Makes 10 medium-sized pancakes

Blueberry pancake ingredients

• 2 cups of self-raising flour
• 2 cups of milk
• 1/2 cup of caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons of butter – for the pan

Method

1. 1. Step 1. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
      
   2. Step 2. Add the sugar.
      
   3. Step 3. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Add the egg, vanilla and the milk.
      
   4. Step 4. Whisk together briefly until there are no lumps and it’s nicely combined.
      
   5. Step 5. Heat your frypan over a medium-low heat. Melt a small amount of the butter – about a teaspoon – and brush it all over the pan.
      
   6. Step 6. Drop a tablespoon or two of batter into the pan, easing it into a nice round shape with the back of the spoon.
      
   7. Step 7. Dot four or five – or more! – blueberries into the uncooked side of the batter.
   8. Step 8. When lots of bubbles appear in the uncooked side of the batter, flip your pancake and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
      
   9. Step 9. Remove and repeat with all your batter – or make what you need and pop the rest in an airtight container in the fridge to use tomorrow!
   10. Step 10. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven covered in foil while you’re cooking the batch.
       
   11. Step 11. Serve with maple syrup, ice cream, more blueberries and/or yoghurt. A sprinkling of chopped nuts is nice for families with no allergies too!
   12.  
   13. Variations – omit the blueberries for fruit-phobics. Switch the blueberries for raspberries instead! YUM!

Note – if you have extra time or extra batter, make some mini versions for lunchbox treats or surprise snacks.
