Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes Food

BLUEBERRY BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, nonfat milk, honey, eggs, and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. Stir in 1 cup of berries.
• Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium flame. Ladle the batter onto the skillet with a 1/4-cup measure. Flip the pancake when it is golden brown on the bottom and bubbles are forming on top, about 1 1/2 minutes. Cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Serve topped with more blueberries and the maple syrup.

BLUEBERRY BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a food processor blend together the flours, the baking powder, the sugar, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and the milk, add the flour mixture, and whisk the batter until it is combined well. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes and stir in the blueberries.
• Preheat the oven to 200°F. Heat a griddle over moderate heat until it is hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with the oil. Spoon the batter onto the griddle to form 3-inch rounds and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof platter and keep them warm in the oven. Serve the pancakes with the syrup.

OAT AND BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE (VEGAN)

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, the orange juice concentrate, and the allspice. Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow the pan to stand while you cook the pancakes.
• Meanwhile, place the rolled oats in a blender and grind to a coarse meal consistency. Transfer to a large bowl, using a rubber spatula to remove the ground oats from the blender. Add the flours, baking powder, and salt to the ground oats, stirring to combine well. Set aside.
• Place the flaxseeds in the blender and grind them to a powder, then add 1/3 cup water and blend for 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, the soymilk, and vanilla, and puree. Add this wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir well, so that all the flour is saturated with liquid.
• Heat a heavy griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Rub the griddle with about 1/4 teaspoon of oil. Pour the batter onto the griddle in 1/4-cup amounts. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the liquidy top of the pancake is strippled with air holes, then use a metal spatula to quickly turn the pancake over. Cook a minute or two longer, until the pancake is cooked through. (If in doubt, you can cut a small slit in the pancake with the edge of the spatula and take a look at the inside; it should look spongy, not liquidy.).
• Serve the pancakes as they come off the griddle or transfer them to a plate in a warm oven while you cook the rest. Just before serving, transfer the blueberry mixture to the blender and puree, then pour into a small pitcher or gravy boat. Serve the pancakes hot, passing the blueberry sauce. (Or you can freeze the pancakes and reheat them in the toaster oven on lazy mornings!).

GLUTEN-FREE BLUEBERRY BANANA BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix buckwheat flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center; fill with coconut milk, eggs, honey, 1 tablespoon butter, and baking soda. Mix batter until smooth.
• Fold blueberries and banana into the batter; stir gently to combine.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter on a griddle over medium-low heat. Drop 1/4 cup batter on the griddle; cook until bubbles form and edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
