For the Pancakes:

  • 200g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 250ml buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 50g melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

To Serve:

Method

  1. Prepare the batter:

    • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
    • Fold in the blueberries. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Make the pancakes:

    • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
    • Pour small ladles of batter onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
    • Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  3. Prepare the lemon cream:

    • Whip the double cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form.
    • Fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  4. Assemble and serve:

    • Stack the pancakes and top with a generous dusting of icing sugar (optional), and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
