Pancake Day!

The Finished Article! Look so good I want some more now!


For Pancake day this year I decided to make some American style Blueberry Pancakes for a bit of a change! 

Recipe

Ingredients
150g plain flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
Half tsp bicarbonate of soda
Large pinch of salt
240 ml buttermilk
Or use 120g plain yohgurt plus 120 ml smin skimmed or skim milk
1 egg
Quarter tsp vanilla extract
150g blueberries
Sunflower oil for greasing
2 tbsp maple syrup

Method
Put the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add half the buttermilk, the egg and vanilla extract
Whisk everything together to make a batter. Add the remaining buttermilk and whisk until smooth.
Add the blueberries and mix them into the batter gently. Try not to squash them.
Lightly oil and heat a non stick frying pan. Drop in 2 tbsp batter per pancake. Cook for one and ahalf to 2 minutes until golden underneath and bubbling on top. Flip over and cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.
MAKES 12 PORTIONS
 

Finn and I made the pancakes whilst Dexter was having his snooze! And the results were delicious! A big success from making to eating! This was the first time Finn was let loose with the mixer without me helping!
Finn doing all the hard work!
Delicious!
I asked Dexter what he thought of them but his mouth was too full to answer!
