With a daughter in Berlin we have great fun together checking out trends and markets in this foodie hotspot. A favourite pastime is finding one of the many hipster cafés offering brunch so I call this dish my Berlin Brunch.

Instructions
  1. Measure flour into bowl and add remaining ingredients keeping back half the milk. Mix with a balloon whisk until smooth then whisk in remaining milk. It should be a smooth quite runny batter.
  2. Place in lined individual ovenproof dishes - a circle of baking parchment to line the dish allows the pancake combo to slip easily onto a plate.
  3. Scatter with berries – whatever you have.
  4. Bake for 15-20minutes in a very hot preheated oven 220C.
  5. Remove pancake dishes from oven when well risen and set. You can add some extra jam at this point if you wish. Allow to cool a little before topping with whipped cream and serve immediately.
