Here's a recipe inspired by Martha. It is very healthy, but it tastes delicious.
Blueberry Pancakes-makes 4
- 3/4 cup wholemeal self raising flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbspn melted butter
- oil for cooking in the pan
- 2 cups of blueberries
- 1 tbspn honey, golden syrup or maple syrup
- zest of half a lemon
Put the flour into a jug or bowl, make a well and then pour in the buttermilk, butter and the egg. Whisk till smooth and set aside while you make the blueberry sauce. Put the blueberries, honey or whatever you choose to use, and zest in a glass bowl and microwave for 1 minute bursts till the blueberries 'pop' and are soft. That's it. Preheat a non stick pan to medium, add a dash of oil and then 1/4 of the pancake mixture. Even it out with the back of a spoon and cook till bubbles appear. Flip and cook for another minute or so. Place each on a plate and then pour a quarter of the sauce over.
This isn't a fine, genteel pancake. In spite of the wholemeal flour and lack of sugar, it is rather delicious when smothered with the blueberry sauce.
