Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make delicious blueberry pancakes? First, prepare everything you need for the test. All foods should be at room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance. Large, selected eggs are needed. If the eggs are small, it is better to take 1 more. Take the highest grade flour.

2. STEP 2

   

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

3. STEP 3

   

   In a separate bowl, mix the sifted flour, cardamom and salt.

4. STEP 4

   

   Stir flour mixture into beaten eggs. Keep in mind that it may take you more or less flour than mine. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   Stir 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 rest for 30 minutes. During this time, the flour will swell, absorb moisture and the dough will become even a little more viscous.

7. STEP 7

   

   While the dough is infusing, melt a piece of butter in a frying pan and pour into the bowl. You will need oil to grease the pan before baking each pancake.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the dough has settled, bake the pancakes over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. I greased the pan with oil every time. The 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 the stack of pancakes with a towel or plastic wrap and cool completely. If the pancakes stay warm, they will melt the blueberry filling and it will flow.

11. STEP 11

    

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

12. STEP 12

    

    Pour 40 ml of cold water over gelatin and leave to swell.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sort the blueberries, rinse and dry. If you are using frozen berries, defrost them first and drain the juice.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place blueberries in a saucepan and cover with sugar.

15. STEP 15

    

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

16. STEP 16

    

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

17. STEP 17

    

    Cool the finished filling at room temperature and place it in the refrigerator or in a pan of cold water to cool. You can generally prepare the pancakes and filling in the evening, leave it to cool overnight, and assemble the cake in the morning.

18. STEP 18

    

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

19. STEP 19

    

    Lightly coat the top of the cake with blueberry filling, not reaching 1-2 cm from the edges. Scatter fresh berries on top.
