Preparation
Step 1
To make the pancakes, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt in a large bowl, creating a well in the center. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla.
Step 2
In a clean glass bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Step 3
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour well and whisk until combined. Add a large spoonful of the egg whites and gently fold in with a metal spoon to loosen the batter, then fold in the remaining egg whites, keeping as much air as possible for a light, bubbly texture.
Step 4
Heat a 20cm/8in frying pan over medium heat and melt a little butter. Add about one and a half ladlefuls of batter to the pan, sprinkle generously with blueberries, and allow the pancake to rise around them as it cooks.
Step 5
Once the bottom is golden and the center is mostly set, flip quickly and cook for another minute on the second side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter and blueberries.
Step 6
For the maple butter, place the butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the maple syrup until fully incorporated with a whipped consistency. Serve the pancakes with a generous dollop of maple butter.
