Ingredients
  

Pancake batter

  • 225 g plain flour
  • 300 ml whole milk
  • 30 g melted butter
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 2-3 drops vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6 strawberries optional

Blueberry compote

  • 250 g blueberries
  • 35 g caster sugar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • To make the blueberry compote add half the blueberries to a pan on a medium heat along with the sugar, lemon juice and water. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Then add the rest of the blueberries and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  • The easiest way to make the pancake batter is to put all your ingredients in to a blender and whizz everything up, it literally takes seconds! If you haven't got a blender then use a big mixing bowl and make a well in your flour. Add all your ingredients and using a fork, start to mix everything together until you have a batter with a smooth consistency.
  • Add a small amount of butter to a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Pick the pan up and circle it round so the butter spreads evenly. Pour the pancake batter into the centre of the pan, again using a circular movement to spread it out evenly.
  • Once your pancake starts to get tiny bubbles in it give the pan a little shake and it should release, using a flipper turn the pancake over and cook for a further minute. Both sides should have a golden colour to them.
  • Stack them up on top of each other and pour over the blueberry compote. Serve and enjoy!
