American-style Blueberry Pancakes
Pancake day (or Shrove Tuesday) is on the horizon, but I want to send an important message to you dear readers and tell you that pancakes aren’t just for pancake day.
At Chez Mutherfudger, we have pancakes for breakfast most weekends. Instead of the fragile French crepe or the stodgy British pancake, we have developed a fondness for the American-style fluffy thick pancakes, especially when it is drizzled with maple syrup.
If you haven’t tried them yourself, then this pancake day, have a go and I promise you will not regret it.
Instead of the Blueberry Sauce, you could serve with maple syrup and crispy streaky bacon for that authentic American taste. They are great with chocolate spreads, or lemon juice and sugar.
If you want to make them extra cute, you could try using a pancake shaper.
