They're an extravagant brunch option to enjoy and impress guests with at home. Plus the suggested topping promises a real flavour explosion in your mouth. There's the sweetness of the blueberry coulis teamed with the creaminess of the Baileys Almande cream. We've then added a handful of pistachios to give it a nice crunchy texture. The recipe serves two but could easily be scaled up if you’re catering for more.

Method
- If topping your pancakes with the blueberry coulis and Baileys Almande coconut cream, prepare these first. For the blueberry coulis: Put the berries and sugar in a small saucepan with 100ml water. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 4 mins until the fruit is softening but still firm. Allow to cool. For the Baileys Almande coconut whipped cream: Open the chilled coconut cream and scoop off the fat formed at the top of the can, beat together with the Baileys Almande in a mixer with the whisk attachment
- For the pancakes: Heat a little olive oil in your best non-stick frying pan over a low heat.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Then combine the wet evenly and mix the two together, it should be evenly combined and thick but still runny.
- For each pancake: Spoon some of your mix into the centre of your pan, rotating it to get a nice even round shape, fry for 20-30 seconds before carefully flipping with a spatula. Then cook for another 20-30 seconds or until done. This will keep well in the fridge for 2 days so you can pull it out anytime to make another pancake.
