Ingredients
- 150g (5oz) self-raising flour
- Pinch of salt
- 175ml (6fl oz) milk
- 30g (1oz) butter
- 1tbsp golden syrup
- 125g (4oz) blueberries
- Oil for frying
- Golden syrup, to serve
Method
To make the pancake batter, tip the flour into a bowl and stir in the salt. Gradually whisk in the milk to give a smooth batter. Warm together the butter and golden syrup until the butter has melted, and then beat into the batter. Stir in the blueberries.
Heat a frying-pan. Grease the base of the pan sparingly, using a sheet of kitchen paper dipped in oil. Spoon tablespoons of mixture on to the base of the frying-pan and spread them out to about 6-7cm (2½-3in) in diameter. Cook for about a minute, then turn over and cook for about 30 seconds longer or until both sides are a light golden colour.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve pancakes with extra golden syrup drizzled over them.
