SPLENDA MADE BLUEBERRY PANCAKES & COMPOTE

Steps:

• 1. PLEASE NOTE--White Lily flour is a soft winter wheat flour, and lighter in texture than regular all purpose flour, or you can use cake flour for the same results. Vanilla Bean paste is a thick syrupy flavoring like extract but has the specks from the vanilla beans in it, I prefer it to Vanilla extract, but either will work. You CAN ALSO USE SUGAR IN THIS RECIPE IF YOU SO DESIRE.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt, and stir to blend together. If it is not while lily or cake flour, you should sift all the ingredients together.
• 3. Add the eggs to a medium size bowl and whisk to break the yolks, then add the milk, Greek yogurt. Vanilla bean paste or extract, and lemon extract,& melted butter then whisk again to blend all of the ingredients together.
• 4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gradually add the milk mixture whisking as you blend it all together.
• 5. If batter is too thick, add additional milk until it reaches the consistency you prefer. I had to add the additional 1/3 cup milk. Then add the thawed or fresh Blueberries, and gently fold into batter.
• 6. Now Spray griddle or skillet with non stick cooking spray and heat until hot, and using a quarter cup measuring cup scoop out 1/4 cup for each pancake, and pour onto griddle, allow to cook until bubbles form on the top, then flip to the other side to brown an additional minute or so, then remove from griddle and serve while hot, with your favorite syrup or topping. I made the Blueberry syrup/Compote to go with it.
• 7. The first batch of pancakes I used a 1/3 cup measure to make larger pancakes for my husband. Then the remainder I used a quarter cup size to make average size pancakes. Spray the cup with nonstick cooking spray to make for easier release of the pancake batter onto the griddle or skillet.
• 8. To make the Blueberry Syrup Topping, Combine the Splenda or zero calorie sweetener with the corn starch in a medium size sauce pan, and stir to blend, then add the thawed blueberries and water, stir to mix and heat over medium high heat, stirring as it heats and begins to boil and bubble around edges. It will thicken also, cook about 5-6 minutes or longer if needed, remove from heat when thickened and hot, add the butter flavored extract, stir to mix, and serve while still hot or when cool.

SUGAR-FREE CINNAMON BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place clean blueberries in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup of water over medium heat. Fold in Truvia, cinnamon and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.

Remove from heat and stir in almond extract.

BLUEBERRY PANCAKE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the blueberries and toss them gently in the flour mixture; this will help keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla and eggs. Remove the skillet from the oven and add the oil and butter to the hot skillet. Let the butter melt completely, then pour the oil and butter into the buttermilk mixture and whisk together, fully incorporating the hot fats. Add the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently until combined and most lumps are gone. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Bake until the cake is fluffy and golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes.
• For the white pancake syrup: While the pancake cooks, add the corn syrup, vanilla and cinnamon to a small saucepan. Stir together and cook over low heat until the syrup is warm and pourable.
• Slice the warm pancake in wedges and serve with the white pancake syrup.

• Bring the mixture to a vigorous simmer or medium boil, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries pop and release their juices, and soften.
• Remove from heat and give a little taste to see if you need any extra sweetener or lemon juice, then add in the reserved ¼ pound (or ¾ cup) of fresh blueberries and stir those in.
• Allow the blueberry compote to cool (I expedite the process by using my fridge), allowing the compote to thicken as it cools.
• Spoon into jars or a covered container, and use as needed, either warm or cold.

BLUEBERRY TOPPING (BLUEBERRY COMPOTE)

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat combine the blueberries, lemon zest, juice and sugar stirring regularly until they have released a lot of liquid and it starts to boil.
• Mix together the cornstarch and water then stir it into the blueberries. This part is optional and you can let the juice reduce naturally, which will take a little longer.
• Turn the heat down so the mixture is just simmering.
• Simmer stirring every so often for about 10 minutes until the blueberries have softened and the liquid has thickened to a consistency you like.
• To test: run your finger through the juice on the back of a spoon and it should leave a clear line that doesn't run. It will also take a few seconds to return to the sides of the pan when you stir it.
• Remove from heat. You can serve this blueberry sauce warm, at room temperature or cold. Store in a jar with an airtight lid for 7-10 days.
