Ever since watching Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 Classic Pulp Fiction, I was made aware of the culinary delight that is the ‘blueberry pancake’. If memory serves, Butch has to return to his apartment to retrieve his father’s watch, leaving his girlfriend Fabienne to mull over the breakfast options in the far from glamorous motel. However, it was not until a few weeks ago that 23 years after the film’s release – (and I am starting to feel so old) – that I experienced my very first Blueberry pancake. The impetus to get around to making this recipe was most definitely my far better half who one morning made her breakfast intentions very clear….. ‘I want blueberry pancakes‘… so, how could I argue with that.. ;o) Better still, they are very much still in season in the UK and knowing that food miles are kept to the minimum really makes them taste all the better.
I scoured the internet for a few recipes, and just wanted to find the quickest and easiest available. I found a Jamie Oliver recipe for a simple one cup version to firm up the proportions, then went to have a bit of a play… as I always do. Since then, I have made this a few times (always a good test that the recipe works consistently and not a freak accident). It also provided much needed fuel prior to an eighty+ mile cycle ride from Home > York and back – and now a pre-cycling favourite with my pals.
