Cooking:
  1. In your frypan, over medium heat, melt a little butter
  2. When the butter is sizzling add a generous scoop, say 220ml
  3. Tilt the frypan to distribute the batter to give a diameter of around 12cm
  4. Cook for 2 – 2½ minutes – bubbles will start to appear. Turn the pancake
  5. Cook other side for about 1 – 1½ minutes
  6. Repeat until all the batter is used
  7. Serve one or two pancakes with whipped cream and maple syrup
  8. I topped mine with honeycomb butter, toasted almonds, some more blueberries and a dusting of icing sugar.
