Blueberry and cinnamon are great partners. The sugar mix here goes heavy on the cinnamon,as the maple syrup provides the sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 450ml milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 eggs

  • 350g self-raising flour

  • 50g caster sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 cup small blueberries,plus extra to serve

  • 75g butter,cut into thick cubes

  • maple syrup,to serve

Cinnamon sugar

  • 1 tbsp caster sugar

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Step1

    Make your pancake batter the night before. Combine the milk,vanilla,eggs,flour,sugar and baking powder in a blender and blend to a smooth mixture. Refrigerate overnight.

  2. Step2

    Heat a non-stick frying pan (or two) over a medium-low heat. Fold the blueberries through the pancake mixture,then ladle about a third of a cup of batter onto the pan,without adding any butter or oil,and cook for about a minute. If the blueberries aren’t evenly distributed,you can pluck a few from the batter and add them to each pancake.

  3. Step3

    Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes,until the bottom is golden brown and the sides of the pancake are set,then flip and cook for a further 3 minutes or so until cooked through.

  4. Step4

    For the cinnamon sugar,mix the ingredients together.

  5. Step5

    Serve the pancakes with a good pat of butter,a few extra blueberries,a sprinkle of the cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Adam’s tip:Making pancake batter the night before gives the flour enough time to hydrate and allows the gluten to relax. The result will be lighter,fluffier pancakes every time.
