Fluffy American Blueberry Pancakes

These are perfect for Pancake Tuesday, Fluffy and Light.

 

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

140ml of milk

pinch of salt

115g plain flour

1 heaped tsp of baking powder

3 large free range eggs
Blueberries (or chocolate buttons)
Maple Syrup
Icing Sugar

 

What to do:

Take the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites in two bowls. Mix the flour, milk, baking powder and yolks together to form a batter.

Whisk together the salt and egg whites until you get stiff peaks, then gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Do this carefully so you don't knock the the air out of the whites.

Handy Tip:

Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, as a metal spoon can destroy the air in the egg whites.

Heat a frying plan on a medium heat and ladle some mixture out. Allow the bottom of the pancake to brown then sprinkle with blueberries (or buttons). Flip the pancake over and cook on the other side (make sure you cook it properly as egg whites are not good raw!)

Once done, place on a plate, dust with icing sugar and drizzle maple syrup over the top.

Watch out as people will want seconds!!
