American Blueberry Pancakes...

Makes 10 pancakes

Preparation and cooking times

Cook 35 mins

 Low-fat

Ingredients

200g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 egg

300ml milk

knob butter

150g pack blueberries

sunflower oil or a little butter for cooking

golden or maple syrup

Mix together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Beat the egg with the milk, make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and whisk in the milk to make a thick smooth batter. 

Beat in the melted butter, and gently stir in half the blueberries.

Heat a teaspoon of oil or small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Drop a large tablespoonful of the batter per pancake into the pan to make pancakes about 7.5cm across. 

Make three or four pancakes at a time. 

Cook for about 3 minutes over a medium heat until small bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden. 

Cover with kitchen paper to keep warm while you use up the rest of the batter. Serve with golden syrup and the rest of the blueberries.
