["Measure out and place the first 6 ingredients (which are the dry ones) in a mixing bowl and give it a good whisking to evenly distribute the ingredients and aerate the mixture.", "Crack the egg into the melted butter and whisk until it is a uniform creamy mass - I find that this helps the butter to be more evenly distributed.", "Loosen the sour cream by pouring in a little milk into it and whisking until smooth. Then pour this into the egg mix and whisk until there are no lumps left, finally add the rest of the milk and whisk thoroughly once more.", "Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Using a circular stirring motion, gently stir to draw in the dry ingredients to the middle, being careful not to over mix - a few floury patches are fine. It should be quite thick and a bit lumpy.", "SET ASIDE for 1/2 an hour at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.", "Once the batter has rested the surface will be covered in holes and bubbles - this is just how it should be.

They batter spreads so just try spacing 3 out to start with.", "Once the batter is in the pan, plop 3 or 4 blueberries on the top of each pancake. They will need to cook for 3 minutes or so. Keep checking and also keep an eye on the heat which you may have to keep adjusting.", "When the tops of the pancakes have lots of holes in them, it is time to flip them over. If a blueberry escapes, just push it back under. This side will not take as long to cook so keep an eye on them.
