Saturday Morning Blueberry Pancakes Food

BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. In a separate large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add the milk, sour cream, half the melted butter and the vanilla, whisking to blend. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the egg mixture into it. Whisk the ingredients together just until blended. Fold the blueberries and lemon zest into the batter.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with some of the remaining melted butter. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot skillet. Cook 3 or 4 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of the skillet. If the batter seems too thick, thin it with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk. When bubbles begin to form and "pop" on the pancake's surface, after about 1 minute, and the outer edge looks done, flip it over and cook briefly for about 30 seconds on the other side.

SIMPLE BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; in another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture just until combined.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Grease hot skillet with a paper towel moistened with a small amount of melted butter. Using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, spoon into skillet and smooth to make a round. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons blueberries onto surface of each pancake.
• Cook until surface of pancakes has formed bubbles and some have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip pancakes with a spatula and cook until browned on underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer pancakes to a warm plate or baking sheet and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with more melted butter and remaining batter (makes about 12). Serve pancakes topped with maple syrup and butter, if desired

SATURDAY MORNING PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat to medium heat a large non-stick griddle. We use a double burner griddle.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
• In another bowl, beat the egg and then mix together the remaining moist ingredients.
• Dump the wet ingredient mixture to the dry mixture.
• Stir until everything is just blended. You will still have some lumps. (O.K. to break up any very large lumps).
• Put a very light coat of oil onto the pan. I do this by putting a small amount of oil onto the pan and spread out using part of a paper towel and a spatula.
• Put about 1/6 of the batter onto the hot skillet (I can cook 3 at a time). Cook until the edges appear dry and top of pancake bubbly. The bottom should be golden brown before turning.
• Turn and cook until golden on the other side.
• Serve with real maple syrup and butter.
• Makes 6 large pancakes.
