Blueberry Pancakes and Blackberry Sauce: Recipe

Ingredients:

• Refined flour - 3/4 cup
• Oat meal - 1/4 cup finely powdered
• Flax seed - 1 tbsp powdered
• Brown sugar - 2 tbsp powdered
• Egg - 1 large lightly beaten
• Baking powder - 1/4 tsp
• Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
• Low fat milk - 1/2 cup
• Low fat laban (or buttermilk) - 1/4 cup
• Salt - a pinch
• Fresh blueberries - 2 to 3 hands full
• Vegetable oil - as required
• Fresh blackberries - 10 - 15 nos
• Castor sugar - 2 tbsp or more

Method:

1. First prepare the blackberry sauce: Take the blackberries and sugar in a pan. Add little water just to cover the fruit and boil. Press the fruit with the back of a ladle to release the juices and simmer until the sauce starts to thicken. Set aside.
2. For the pancakes: Mix all the dry ingredients - flour,oatmeal, flax seed,baking powder,baking soda, sugar; with a wire whisk to blend everything together. Remove any lumps.
3. Add the laban, then egg, followed by the milk - add it gradually and mix well to form a batter with slightly thick consistency.
4. Heat a non stick pan and rub a cube of butter / few drops of vegetable oil on the surface to grease it slightly.
5. Scoop a ladle of the batter and pour it into the centre of the pan. If the consistency is right the batter should spread slightly to form a small sized pancake.
6. When bubbles start appearing on top, flip it and let the other side cook. Both the sides should be golden brown (take care to cook the pancakes on a medium - low flame so that it cooks well and does not burn).
7. Serve it hot with blackberry sauce and honey.
