Ingredients

(Servings: 1)

  • For the pancakes:
  • 2 2 flax eggs
  • 0.5 0.5 cup sourdough starter
  • 0.66 0.66 cup almond milk
  • 2 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 2 Tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 1 pinch salt

  • 1 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste / vanilla extract
  • For the compote:
  • 2.5 2.5 cups blackberries
  • 0.5 0.5 cup unrefined golden caster sugar
  • 1 1 splash water
  • 1 1 tsp arrowroot powder mixed with water to form a paste

Method

  1. Simply whisk together all the pancake ingredients together, adding little splash of extra almond milk if it is too thick. Let the batter sit for a few minutes whilst you preheat your frying pan to a medium/high heat.
  2. Spray some cooking spray into the frying pan and grab an ice cream scoop, scoop up some batter and place in the pan, using an ice cream scoop helps you get even sized pancakes.
  3. Cook until the pancake starts looking cooked around the outside, then flip and cook on the other side until browned.  Repeat with the rest of the pancake mix.
  4. You can make the compote whilst the pancakes are cooking, just combine the blackberries, sugar and a splash of water in a pan and cook until the blackberries have begun to burst and let their juices out.
  5. Bring to a bubble and add the arrowroot that has been mixed with water to form a paste, continue to cook and stir until thickened. Pour into a jar/ serving jug and serve over the pancakes.
