Blueberry Pancakes with spelt and buttermilk

on Thursday, January 19, 2012

I've been on a pancake phase recently. I can't believe I've never made pancakes until recently. It's so easy to make and does not require any special ingredients or equipment.  I saw this recipe on What I Baked This Weekend.  It looked really good and I decided to give it a go but modified it to use up all my leftovers.  I had spelt flour and buttermilk leftover from baking my honey and spelt cake and some blueberries that needed to be eaten. I made half the original recipe as I didn't want to end up with stacks of pancakes! 
The pancakes were delicious and I really like the texture of the spelt flour here. I'm sending this to Frugal Food Fridays hosted by Helen from Fuss Free Flavours



Recipe adapted from What I baked this weekend 
Makes 4 pancakes of the size shown

120g spelt flour
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon honey
150ml buttermilk
75ml milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
75g blueberries


  • Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the honey, buttermilk, milk, egg and oil until smooth. 
  • Make a well in the flour mixture and add in the wet ingredients. 
  • Whisk until just combined. 
  • Fold in the blueberries, saving a handful to sprinkle on top. 
  • Heat a small amount of oil in a non stick frying pan. 
  • Add a small amount of batter (depends on what size you want your pancakes!) and cook until the surface starts bubbling. 
  • Flip the pancake over and cook until light golden brown.
  • Serve with the remaining blueberries and a drizzle of honey.
