We love pancakes here in the Frugal house and we often have them on a Sunday morning for our breakfast. I’m useless at flipping pancakes though so I usually make the smaller more fluffy American style pancakes as they’re much easier to make and need very little flipping so there’s less potential for a kitchen disaster 
Seeing as it’s Pancake Day on Tuesday, I thought I’d share my recipe for Blueberry Pancakes with you….
American Style Blueberry Pancakes
30g (2 tbsps) butter
225g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
a pinch of salt
300 ml milk
2 eggs
Blueberries
- Melt the butter and leave it to one side.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl
- Beat the eggs, milk and the melted butter together and pour it into mixing bowl with the flour mix.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Add your blueberries.
- Heat some butter into a frying pan and spoon a dollop of the mixture into the hot pan.
- You can tell when you need to flip it because small bubbles start to appear on the surface.
- Flip it and cook the other side.
I usually serve these with a nice big dollop of fromage frais mixed with a little bit of sugar to sweeten it and they are absolutely delicious. They’re lovely made without the blueberries too if you can’t get hold of any or you forget to buy them (as I usually do) and in the past I’ve also made them plain and made a sauce out of frozen forest fruits or cherries.
I’ll be making pancakes again on Tuesday for the kids and I might try and make some sort of savoury pancakes if I can find a nice recipe – Watch this space!
What’s your favourite pancake?
I have just found your blog via Netmums. It is fantastic! Going to have a lovely search around. This recipe looks delicious! As an apprentice frugal housewife, making my own pancakes on Tuesday is a definite!
