short stack + blueberries

When I was a little girl my mum would always make us kids a huge stack of pancakes as our after school snack on Shrove Tuesday. I remember flying in the door from the school bus, flinging my bag aside and sitting on the stool in the kitchen armed with eggs, milk and flour. They would always be served with lashings of cream and Nanna's jam, maple syrup, lemon juice and sprinklings of sugar. Mmmm. 

Well this morning I totally forgot to make Mr M pancakes for breakfast (he was up and out the door at 6am) and I was starving hungry coming home from work. So my own 'after school snack' today were these deliciously fluffy pancakes with fresh blueberries and a drizzling of cream. 

If you would like to make your own to celebrate the beginning of Lent then here is my recipe:

2 cups self raising flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar

Whisk eggs and milk together. Sift flour and sugar together in seperate bowl. Combine wet and dry ingredients, folding gently together trying not to over mix, until the mixture is a batter consistency. Cook on medium heat in pan, as big or as little as you like and flipping as crazily as possible!

Dust with icing sugar, pour on the cream or jam and lick fingers furiously.

Bon appetit!
