Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tsp sunflower oil
  • 1 cup mixed berries
  • For the compote:
  • 200 g frozen mixed berries
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla essence or 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 2 Tbsp muscovado sugar

Method
 

  1. Put the flour in a large bowl and add the egg and milk. Stir until well combined then rest for 10-15 minutes, if time allows.
  2. Lightly oil a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add dollops of the batter to the pan then sprinkle them with mixed berries. Spoon a little more batter on top to cover the berries. Cook for a minute until the surface is no longer runny, then flip them over and cook for another minute or so.
  3. When they are golden on both sides, transfer them to a plate and cover with foil. Repeat with remaining batter and mixed berries.
  4. Meanwhile, put most of the berries in a small saucepan. Add the vanilla paste and sugar then place the saucepan on the hob over low heat and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring regularly, until you get a thick, syrupy compote.
  5. Serve the pancakes with the compote drizzled over them.
