Blueberry pancakes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make delicious blueberry pancakes? First, prepare everything you need for the test. All products should be at room temperature, so take them out of the refrigerator in advance. Eggs need large selected ones. If the eggs are small, it is better to take 1 more. Take the flour of the highest grade.

2. Step 2:

   

   Combine eggs with sugar and 1 cup of milk and whisk until smooth.

3. Step 3:

   

   Separately, in a bowl, mix the sifted flour, cardamom and salt.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the flour mixture into the beaten eggs. Keep in mind that you may take more or less flour than me. Be guided by the consistency of the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix until smooth, gradually adding the remaining milk. This way you will avoid the appearance of lumps. The dough should be slightly viscous, fluid and homogeneous.

6. Step 6:

   

   Let the finished dough stand for 30 minutes. During this time, the flour will swell, absorb moisture and the dough will become a little more viscous.

7. Step 7:

   

   While the dough is being infused, melt a piece of butter in a frying pan and pour over the bowl. Oil will be needed to lubricate the pan before baking each pancake.

8. Step 8:

   

   When the dough is infused, bake the pancakes on medium heat on both sides until golden brown. I greased the pan with oil every time. Pancakes turned out with beautiful patterns and did not stick. You should get about 15-18 pancakes, depending on the diameter of the pan.

9. Step 9:

   

   Stack the finished pancakes on top of each other.

10. Step 10:

    

    Cover a stack of pancakes with a towel or cling film and cool completely. If the pancakes stay warm, they will melt the blueberry filling and it will flow.

12. Step 11:

    

    While the pancakes are cooling, prepare the blueberry filling. You can use ready-made store-bought blueberry jam. It should be thick enough, not flowing. I thickened blueberry puree with gelatin. But you can also replace it with pectin or agar-agar. Or you can go an even easier way and add 2-3 tablespoons of corn starch dissolved in 40 ml of water to the blueberry mass.

13. Step 12:

    

    Gelatin pour 40 ml of cold water and leave to swell.

14. Step 13:

    

    Pick blueberries, rinse and dry. If you use frozen berries, first defrost them and drain the released juice.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put blueberries in a saucepan, cover it with sugar.

16. Step 15:

    

    Stirring, bring to a boil over low heat and cook for 5-10 minutes.

17. Step 16:

    

    When the blueberries boil, mash the berries with a crush. Boil the mixture until the blueberries begin to thicken. At the end, add the gelatin diluted in water, stir and boil everything together for 1 minute.

18. Step 17:

    

    Cool the finished filling at room temperature and put it in the refrigerator or in a saucepan with cold water to cool. You can generally cook pancakes and stuffing in the evening, leave it to cool down overnight, and assemble the cake in the morning.

19. Step 18:

    

    Assemble the cake by smearing each pancake with blueberry filling and stacking it on top of each other.

20. Step 19:

    

    Also lightly brush the top of the cake with blueberry filling, not reaching the edges 1-2 cm. Sprinkle fresh berries on top.

21. Step 20:

    

    It can be not only blueberries, but also currants, strawberries and raspberries. Enjoy your meal!
