  2. Rest. Leave the batter for 5 minutes while the pan heats over medium heat.

Chef tip

Your first pancake tests the heat. If it browns too fast, turn the heat down a little.

Storage

Freeze cooked pancakes between baking paper and toast from frozen.

Swap it

Add blueberries to each pancake once it is in the pan.
