Christmas morning blueberry pancakes

Mix the Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

Sift the self-rising flour into the wet mixture. Gradually stir in the milk until you get a thick but pourable batter.

Add Blueberries:

Gently fold in the thawed blueberries and their juice. This will add a festive purple-blue hue to the pancakes.

Cook the Pancakes:

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve:

Stack pancakes, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with powdered sugar for a snowy effect. Add whipped cream and fresh mint leaves for extra Christmas flair.
