ingredients

For the lemon poppyseed pancakes

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons poppyseeds
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 ounces milk

ingredients

For the macerated blueberries

  • 1 2/3 cups fresh blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

Method

  • Step 1

    Make the blueberry syrup: In a bowl, combine the zest and juice into a bowl with the caster sugar. Using your fingers, pinch the zest into the sugar until the mixture resembles a coarse crumble. Add the blueberries, cover and allow to sit for at least 2 hours (ideally overnight).

  • Step 2

    In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and caster sugar. Whisk together until pale and fluffy and doubled in volume. Gently add the lemon zest and juice, vanilla, milk, and melted butter and whisk to combine.

  • Step 3

    Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in the same bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold together until no lumps remain.

  • Step 4

    Place a non stick frying pan on a high heat. Add a little bit of butter and a ladleful of batter. Cook for 1 minute on each side until golden browned and increased in volume. Repeat with remaining batter.

  • Step 5

    Serve with the macerated blueberries and sauce.
