Lemon Blueberry pancakes

I am a big fan of brunch there is something incredibly satisfying about a mid morning meal where it is acceptable to pile your plate with both savoury dishes and desert.  This is one of my recently attempts at a brunch dish and is a twist on a tradition crepe. It needs a teaspoon of baking powder to try and grab the blueberries so that they sit in the batter.

Lemon and blueberry pancakes

Makes 6-8

Ingredients
1 tbsp of caster sugar
2 eggs
110g plain flour
400ml semi skimmed milk
1 tsp baking powder
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Frozen blue berries (defrosted) quantity to preference
Lemon juice to taste

1. Sift the dry ingredients and lemon rind together
2. Add the eggs and milk and beat together until the batter is smooth
3. Add the blueberries to the batter and distribute evenly thought the batter, if they are mixed in too well the the pancakes will turn out a blue colour rather than a buttery colour with distinctive blueberries.
4. Heat a crepe or non stick frying pan and grease with a few sprays of a low calorie spray. Pour in a ladles worth of batter and tilt the pan in a circular motion until the bottom of the pan is covered. Once the surface of the crepe pits flip over the crepe and cook the other side.
5. Once cooked stack the pancakes layering with lemon juice to soak in and serve.
