Our blueberry compote pancake recipe is a treat you have to experience. Compote is a French term referring to the cooking of fruit in sugar, which combines to make a fruity syrup. They’re a doddle to make and we think are the ultimate fresh pancake topping, along with a dollop of crème fraîche and drizzled with maple syrup. We like to use fruit that is a little on the tart side and to add the sugar to taste as you go along.
