Everything went by extremely fast this past week. We got someone to sign a new lease, we found an apartment (fingers crossed, supposed to sign the lease tomorrow), and one more final for my DB! I also got to go to Philly and eat a Philly cheesesteak. It was glorious.
Pretty sure I’ve been making more of breakfast than I have of anything else lately, which is fine by my DB! Hmmm… looking at the pictures now, it seems as if I needed to mix my batter a little more. Ohhhh well. What can I say, we were hungry.
I love the natural dye that blueberries do to the batter. Blue pancakes? I’ll take five. This is a nice way to spice up your usual pancake and add some healthy nutrition to your daily routine. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can always use the lemon juice and milk method. Don’t skip the most important meal of the day.. breakfast!
Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups AP flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries
Directions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, stir the egg and butter into the buttermilk.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet in two batches until just combined. Lumps are good! Barely mix in the blueberries. Be careful, they're fragile!
- Drop 1/4 cup of the batter onto a warmed pan over medium heat.
- Cook the first side until bubbles start to appear, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute on the other side, making sure it's cooked through.
- Repeat until all the batter and blueberries are gone.
These look perfect! Now I’ve got a craving for a good stack of pancakes!
you don’t eat your pancakes with syrup?!
I’m always looking for new pancake recipes! I’m one of those oddballs who don’t like using mixes. I’m not very fragile with my blueberries though. I love the natural blue color that they dye food 🙂
