BLUEBERRY, LEMON AND THYME PANCAKES

BLUEBERRY, LEMON AND THYME PANCAKES

Blueberry pancakes are a real treat for breakfast, yet they are so easy to knock up in the morning. These include ricotta, which is a great dairy product to use when you are on a diet as it’s low in fat but still rich and creamy. Lemon thyme brings the fresh flavours together.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 4

200g plain flour

1 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

2–3 tsp granulated sweetener

1 tsp lemon thyme leaves, chopped

Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

175ml semi-skimmed milk

1 large free-range egg

50g ricotta

200g blueberries

Sunflower oil spray

2 tbsp agave

METHOD

Combine the flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, sweetener, thyme leaves and lemon zest in a large bowl and make a well in the middle.

In a jug, whisk together the milk, egg and ricotta. Pour into the well in the flour mixture, then whisk until you have a thick, smooth pouring batter. Fold in half of the blueberries.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a few sprays of oil. Spoon 3 dollops of batter into the pan to form 3 pancakes. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, then remove from the pan. Keep warm, wrapped in foil, while you cook the remaining pancakes.

Serve 3 pancakes each, scattered with the remaining blueberries and drizzled with agave.
