THE BEST BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Please note that you'll also need additional unsalted butter to grease your skillet (you could also use nonstick cooking spray like Pam; I did some with butter and some with Pam and all worked fine and tasted great).
• In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt (I do this through a sieve, not with a sifter).
• After melted butter has cooled down, beat the eggs with the buttermilk in a separate bowl then whisk in the melted butter.
• Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine just until you have a lumpy batter; do NOT overmix.
• Over medium-high heat, heat some butter in a large skillet (you could use a griddle too, of course).
• For each pancake, use a generous 1/4 cup of batter; after spooning batter into skillet, sprinkle top of each pancake with blueberries and press them in slightly.
• I was quite generous with sprinkling the blueberries, then when I got to my last pancake I found I didn't have many left, so you may want to have some extra blueberries on hand.
• Cook each pancake for approximately 2 minutes per side; the length of time will depend on how hot you have the heat, how well your skillet retains the heat, etc.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven as you make them, then serve; best when served with real maple syrup.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk to blend. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and buttermilk to blend slightly. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, add the cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form when beater is raised. Set aside briefly.
• Add the yolk mixture to the flour mixture and mix lightly with a fork until flour is moistened. Stir in the cooled melted butter. The batter should be lumpy; overmixing makes tough pancakes. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Preheat the griddle or skillet. Lightly butter the hot griddle before each batch of pancakes. Pour out the batter to make four-inch rounds. Quickly drop about six to eight frozen berries onto each pancake. Test for doneness by lifting a corner of a pancake with a metal spatula. When golden brown, turn over and cook about 30 seconds on the other side. Serve with warmed maple syrup, hickory bacon, sausages or scrapple.
