Ingredients

• 200 g All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 300 ml Milk
• 50 g Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 250 g Blueberries (for syrup)
• 75 g Granulated sugar (for syrup)
• 3 tbsp Water (for syrup)
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (for syrup)
• 100 g Blueberries (for pancake topping, optional)
• 15 ml Butter or oil (for cooking pancakes)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a griddle or a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm under a clean kitchen towel or in a low oven.

Step 6

While the pancakes are cooking, make the blueberry syrup. In a small saucepan, combine 250g of blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.

Step 7

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain for a smoother syrup, or leave it chunky if preferred.

Step 8

To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and pour the warm blueberry syrup generously over them. Optionally, top with fresh blueberries for added texture and flavor.
