Categories     breakfast, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 10 medium-size pancakes, 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup white flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup skim milk
1 cup blueberries
Warm maple syrup

Steps:

  • Mix the flours, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl beat the egg and stir in two tablespoons of the butter and milk. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture only until the ingredients are incorporated. Stir in the blueberries.
  • Heat a griddle or a large nonstick skillet. Preheat oven to 150 degrees.
  • Brush the skillet or griddle lightly with butter, then, using about three tablespoons of the batter, form one pancake in the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until it is browned on one side, two to three minutes, turn it over and brown the other side. Transfer it to a heatproof platter and place it in the oven. The reason for starting with one pancake is that the first pancake never browns as evenly as subsequent ones.
  • Continue to add batter, about three tablespoons for each, and to cook pancakes (as many as pan will hold), brushing griddle or skillet with more melted butter as needed, until the batter has been used. As the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to the platter to keep warm. Serve with warm maple syrup.

BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

From Cook's Illustrated. When fresh blueberries are not in season, frozen blueberries are a good alternative. To make sure that frozen berries do not bleed, rinse them under cool water in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear, then spread them on a paper towel-lined plate to dry. If you have buttermilk on hand, use 2 cups of buttermilk instead of the milk and lemon juice. 1 cup blueberries = 16 T, 1 T per pancake. If you like more blueberries, as my husband does, double the quantity of blueberries and use 6-8 blueberries per pancake. Also, I use a 1/3 cup measure to get slightly larger pancakes.

1 tablespoon white sugar
1 egg
½ cup plain yogurt
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the egg, yogurt, milk and oil. Gradually stir in the flour mixture, then fold in the blueberries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries. Fresh blueberries will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking the pancakes over too high heat will make them burn on the outside before they're cooked through on the inside. Cook the pancakes over medium heat until they're golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. You can top them with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Blueberry pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast. By following these tips, you can make perfect blueberry pancakes every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty breakfast, give blueberry pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
