Blueberry Pancakes

Hi there, I hope you are having a nice Monday. Today we had to take our wee Maggie to the vet to get neutered, and it was extremely sad to watch her little face being carried away. It could have made the toughest man cry. The good side though is that she will be a happier cat when she comes home.

Since tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, and to take my mind off Maggie, I decided I would get started on making some scrumptious pancakes…

I decided to try something different by mixing blueberries into the pancake batter instead of having them on the side.

If you’re not a big fan of blueberries then why not try using a fruit you do like instead. Or just make ordinary pancakes by following the recipe without adding the blueberries.


So here’s what you will need:



3 – Large eggs (go for free range, happy hens make happy pancakes)
115g – Plain Flour
1 tsp – Baking Powder
140ml – Milk
Pinch of Salt
1 Cup – Blueberries (crushed and drained)

And this is how we do it:

(1) Using a non-stick frying pan put it on a medium heat

(2) Separate the white from the yolks of the eggs

(3) Combine the flour, baking powder, milk and egg yolks until smooth and thick

(4) Add the blueberries to the mixture and stir through

(5) Whisk the whites of the eggs with the salt until you can form firm peaks

(6) Fold into the batter and use immediately (so the pancakes are light and fluffy)

(7) Put a small amount into the pan and leave until firm enough to turn without dripping. (why not show off with some pan flipping techniques) :)

And that’s it, you should be left with some beautifully raised pancakes all fluffy and yummy… add sugar or syrup and some fruit on the side for a great Pancake Tuesday Breakfast.
