Buttermilk & blueberry pancakes

When my daughter was in Sydney for Christmas she would make these pancakes for breakfast. Now that she is back in Sydney full time we can have them anytime!  The buttermilk makes them really light and delicious and the orange rind gives them that special something….

Makes approximately 10

Ingredients:

1½ cups self raising flour
375ml buttermilk
2 tbsp. castor sugar
1 tsp finely grated orange rind
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp. melted butter
1 cup blueberries

Method:

1. Sift flour into a bowl
2. Add sugar, buttermilk, egg and butter
3. Beat with a wooden spoon until batter is smooth
4. Add blueberries and orange rind and stir to combine
5. Pre-heat a non-stick, frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter.  Be careful it doesn’t burn.
6. Cook pancakes by pouring 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear.  Turn carefully and continue to cook remainder greasing the pan well in between.
7. Serve warm dusted with icing sugar.  Delicious with thick yoghurt and more berries, especially a mixed fruit salad with mango for Christmas 🙂
