Blueberry Pancakes Using Cake Flour

Luvfood's Note:

A recipe from Bon Appetit, Summer 2002. Different twist for batter using the cake flour. It makes a more crepe'like' pancake. Looks really pretty, very white. Cooking these in a very small round pan will give you perfectly round pancakes. My family loves these with jam! NurseDi's (On Zaar) Strawberry pancakes are still are top favourite, those are fluffy traditional pancakes. These ones are nice for a little variety.
