Method

  1. 1

    Sift. Sift the 280 g wholemeal flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, 1 tbsp sugar and ½ tsp salt together, then stir in the 25 g poppy seeds and 45 g toasted sunflower seeds.

  2. 2

    Whisk. Whisk the 2 eggs, then whisk in the 480 ml buttermilk, 2 tbsp rapeseed oil and 2 tsp vanilla.

  3. 3

    Combine. Quickly stir the flour mix and 2 tbsp lemon zest into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overwork the batter.

  4. 4

    Heat. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat and brush with butter or oil.

  5. 5

    Cook. Drop 3-4 tbsp batter per pancake, pressing about 6 raspberries onto each if using.

  6. 6

    Flip. When bubbles break through the surface, flip and cook for about 1 min more until brown underneath.

Storage

Serve straight away, or once cool, wrap portions in cling film and freeze in a freezer bag. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
