Hello Dear Reader,
A little while ago, on a Sunday, I had a hankering for pancakes for lunch and as I had some blueberries in the crisper draw to use up, blueberry pancakes it was. I have a lot of pancake recipes, but I think this one is my new favourite, as they are so very light and fluffy, not too sweet either and are just divine with butter and a good slosh of maple syrup.
It is the combination of buttermilk (just milk and vinegar mixed together and let sit for a while) baking powder and bicarb soda that makes these pancakes incredibly light and fluffy while still being very easy to handle. Once combined the mixture looks puffy and it cooks out beautifully golden brown. Make them this weekend!

Ingredients for Light and Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes, clockwise from left-2 tablespoons white sugar, 1 cup plain flour, 1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup milk (I used powdered milk) plus 2 teaspoons of white vinegar, a punnet of blueberries, washed, 2 tablespoons of butter, melted (I forgot to add this to the photo) and 1 egg at room temperature
Firstly get the milk and the vinegar together in a jug, mix well and let sit for a couple of minutes, it will split and look weird, that's what you're aiming for. Add the egg and melted butter to the "buttermilk" and whisk together
Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl
And whisk (this is instead of sieving)
Now add the buttermilk, melted butter and egg mixture to the dry ingredients
And whisk well till no there are no lumps. It will start to look puffy and fluffy, that's chemistry
Cook in the usual way, adding as many blueberries as you like
Flip and cook on the other side till golden
Turn out onto a plate, add a knob of butter and pour over as much or as little maple syrup as you like, while waiting for the next one to cook.
Have a lovely day,
