British semi-skimmed milk and low-fat yogurt are naturally rich in protein and provide calcium, which support the maintenance of normal bones.
Ingredients
For the blueberry compôte:
- 2OOg fresh blueberries
For the pancakes:
- 75g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mixed spice or cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 100ml semi-skimmed milk
- 250g low-fat natural yogurt
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla optional
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil for greasing the pan
Method
- To prepare the compôte, put half the blueberries in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the berries just start to burst. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining blueberries.
- For the pancakes, put the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix together. Add the milk, yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract, if used. Whisk to make a smooth, thick batter.
- Preheat the oven to 140°C,120°C fan, Gas Mark 1.
- Grease a large non-stick pan with the oil and heat gently until hot. Drop in 4 heaped spoonsful of the batter into the pan, shaping the pancakes into rounds. After 1-2 mins, flip each pancake using a spatula and cook for a further minute. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven and continue making the pancakes with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes with the compôte, a dollop of extra yogurt and lemon zest, if used.
