TODD'S FAMOUS BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries. Set aside for 1 hour.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. In a separate large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add the milk, sour cream, half the melted butter and the vanilla, whisking to blend. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the egg mixture into it. Whisk the ingredients together just until blended. Fold the blueberries and lemon zest into the batter.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with some of the remaining melted butter. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot skillet. Cook 3 or 4 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of the skillet. If the batter seems too thick, thin it with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk. When bubbles begin to form and "pop" on the pancake's surface, after about 1 minute, and the outer edge looks done, flip it over and cook briefly for about 30 seconds on the other side.

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND BERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, white chocolate syrup, jam, eggs and vanilla until combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined, making sure not to overmix. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
• Heat a griddle over medium-low heat. Smear the griddle with a couple tablespoons of butter. Drop the batter in 1/4-cup portions onto the griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges are starting to brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until set in the middle, an additional minute or two. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the pancakes topped with butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, mixed berries and white chocolate chips, followed by a drizzle of white chocolate syrup.

TRI-BERRY OVEN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Gently combine the berries and sugar in a small bowl and set aside while you make the pancakes. Place 4 (6- to 7-inch) individual gratin dishes on two sheet pans. Place 1 teaspoon of butter in each gratin dish and set aside.
• Place the eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium speed until mixed. Add the milk and combine. Slowly add the flour, vanilla, orange zest, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and the salt and mix just until smooth. Whisk by hand if the mixture is lumpy.
• Place the gratin dishes in the oven for 3 minutes, until the butter is hot and bubbly. Make sure the butter covers the bottom of each dish. Immediately divide the batter equally among the gratin dishes and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned. Divide the berries among the dishes, drizzle with maple syrup, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve hot.

AMERICAN BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix together 200g self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
• Beat 1 egg with 300ml milk, make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and whisk in the milk to make a thick smooth batter.
• Beat in a knob of melted butter, and gently stir in half of the 150g pack of blueberries.
• Heat a teaspoon of sunflower oil or small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan.
• Drop a large tablespoonful of the batter per pancake into the pan to make pancakes about 7.5cm across. Make three or four pancakes at a time.
• Cook for about 3 minutes over a medium heat until small bubbles appear on the surface of each pancake, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden.
• Cover with kitchen paper to keep warm while you use up the rest of the batter.
• Serve with golden or maple syrup and the rest of the blueberries.
