Description

Delicate, fluffy pancakes with blueberries inspired by a Polish breakfast with a touch of creative presentation - on the plate, they look like small moons covered in 'craters' of blueberry spots. The batter is light thanks to the baking powder and a short resting period, and the addition of melted butter and blueberries provides a contrast of sweetness and tartness. The dish pairs perfectly with morning coffee, a family weekend breakfast, or as a dessert for Sunday. Serve with natural yogurt or a drizzle of honey; during the season, the blueberries can be fresh, and out of season, use previously thawed frozen ones. Visually, the pancakes should have golden edges, a soft center, and distinct dark blue spots of blueberries, resembling craters on the moon's surface.

Preparation steps

Base

1

Prepare all the ingredients and tools: a large bowl, a whisk or fork, a measuring cup, a sieve, a non-stick frying pan with a diameter of 24-26 cm, and a spatula. Measure the flour (250 g) and sift it through a sieve into the large bowl - sifting will aerate the flour and prevent lumps.

Use a bowl with a diameter of at least 24 cm to mix comfortably. A medium-sized kitchen sieve is sufficient.
2

To the sifted flour, add sugar (30 g), baking powder (10 g), and salt (2 g). Mix the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon or whisk until evenly distributed - mix for about 20-30 seconds until the mixture takes on a uniform color.

Use a wooden spoon or whisk. Do not put your hands into the dry mixture to avoid lumps.
3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg (120 g, 2 pieces) with a fork or whisk for about 20 seconds until the white and yolk are combined. Then pour in the milk (300 ml) and gently mix until the mixture is smooth.

Use a bowl with a capacity of at least 1 liter. Beating the egg will prevent lumps and make it easier to combine with the milk.
4

Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ones: make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the milk and egg mixture, and quickly mix the center with a whisk until there are no dry lumps. The batter should have the consistency of thick yogurt - if it's too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk; if it's too thin, add a little flour.

Gently mix with a 'fold from the sides to the center' technique instead of vigorous stirring - overmixing will develop gluten and the pancakes will be tough.
5

Add melted and slightly cooled butter (30 g) to the batter and gently mix until combined. Set the mixture aside for 5-10 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate and the batter to rest slightly.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before adding. Do not let it rest for longer than 15 minutes - longer may weaken the leavening effect.

Frying

6

Heat a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add a teaspoon of canola oil (you can spread the oil with a paper towel across the surface of the skillet, leaving a thin layer). Use a ladle to pour the batter onto the skillet, forming small round pancakes with a diameter of 8-10 cm (moons). Evenly sprinkle a few berries on the freshly poured batter, so they create dot-like craters.

The best is a non-stick pan 24-26 cm. Place the batter at least 2 cm apart between the pancakes, as they will spread slightly.
7

Fry the first side for 1.5-2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the edges become slightly opaque. Gently lift the edges with a spatula to check the browning. Flip with a spatula and fry the second side for 1-1.5 minutes until golden.

Use a wide, flat spatula. Don't flip too early — if the edges are still wet, the dough won't be well baked in the middle.

Serving

8

Stack the finished pancakes on top of each other on a warm plate. You can add a tablespoon of natural yogurt (200 g per serving to share) on top and drizzle with honey (60 g optional). You can place the remaining berries beside them as decoration.

Serve immediately after frying — pancakes lose their fluffiness after a while. Additionally, you can add natural yogurt or honey to enhance the flavor/texture.

Cleaning

9

After frying, wipe the pan with a paper towel, rinse the bowls and whisk with warm soapy water. If the batter has dried, soak the dishes for 10-15 minutes before washing.

Use warm water to dissolve the fat faster. Do not use metal scrubbers on a non-stick pan.

Fun Fact

💡

Pancakes have a long history in Europe and have been served since ancient times; Polish cuisine has known similar pancakes for breakfast and during carnival. The name "moon" refers to the spots of berries resembling craters on the surface of the moon.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the pancakes hot, preferably stacked in groups of 3-4. For a contrast of temperature and texture, add cool natural yogurt and warm honey. You can also sprinkle a little lemon zest for freshness.

🥡 Storage

Best consumed immediately. If you need to store it, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours and reheat in a skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes with a lid. Do not freeze with toppings (yogurt, honey); freezing the pancake itself is possible: after cooling, wrap individually and freeze for up to 1 month; reheat directly from the freezer in a skillet.
