Two Chicks Blueberry Pancakes with Crème Fraiche and Maple Syrup

Serves 2

Few drops of vegetable oil
300ml Two Chicks Pancake Batter
200g blueberries
1tbsp caster sugar
4tbsp crème fraiche
2tbsp maple syrup or clear honey
50g pomegranate seeds

1 Heat a pancake pan or frying pan and add 3-4 drops of vegetable oil.

2 Pour in half the Two Chicks Pancake Batter and sprinkle a few blueberries over the surface. Cook over a medium-high heat until the surface has set – about 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake over to cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing the pancake down slightly with a spatula to squash the blueberries. Transfer to a warm serving plate.

3 Cook the second pancake in the same way, adding another 3-4 drops of vegetable oil to the pan.

4 Warm most of the remaining blueberries in a saucepan with 2 tbsp water and the sugar, just until the juice starts to run – about 1-2 minutes.

5 Serve the pancakes topped with the warm blueberries, crème fraiche and maple syrup or honey. Mix the last of the blueberries with the pomegranate seeds to serve alongside the pancakes.

Cook’s tip: Use thick Greek yogurt or whipped double cream instead of crème fraiche.
