I was in the mood while in the UK at xmas and dug out this old newspaper cutting.
It is simply wonderful. Mouth orgazm.
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Blueberry Sauce:
115g Caster sugar.
Generous pinch ground cinnamon
Juice 1lemon
500g blueberries, washed
Batter:
285g plain flour
half teasp salt
half teasp bicarb soda
2 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs, roughly beaten
1 tbsp melted butter
225g blueberries
First, the sauce:
Sugar, lemon and cinnamon in non-corrosive saucepan and set over low heat. As soon as sugar disolves, add 500g blueberries, gently mixing in, and increase heat slightly.. Allow to simmer for a few mins or until they release their juice but still hold their shape. Set aside.
Batter:
Sift flour, salt and bicarb into large bowl.
Make well in the centre and gradually beat in the beaten egg and melted butter, followed by the buttermilk until it forms a smooth thick batter.
Wash and gently pat dry remaining 225g blueberries, then fold into the batter.
Set a large, heavy bottomed frying pan over a medium heat and liberally grease with sunflower oil. Clarified butter can be used instead..
Once the pan is hot, spoon a blob of batter on to the pan - spread it out slightly and try to encourage it to settle into a round shape. Repeat the process until you have 3 pancakes. After 2 or 3 mins, when they have puffed up and show tiny bubbles on the surface, flip them over and cook for a few more mins on other side...
Keep warm until all pancakes are cooked.
Serve with sprinkled caster sugar and creme fraiche if desired.
Sublime.
