1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 cup fresh Maine wild blueberries

When the first side is golden brown, use a spatula to flip each pancake. Allow the second side to toast, and your ready to go! # step 7 instructions To make the maple syrup: Heat 1 cup maple syrup together with 3 tablespoons butter for the perfect topping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pancakes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Low heat will make the pancakes soggy, and high heat will burn them.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
