Week 21 - Blueberry Pancakes

This weekend, I wanted simple...again.  I feel like I often look for the simple recipe, but hey, when you have an 8 month old baby, simple is sometimes the best you can do.  And simple doesn't have to necessarily mean bad.  Simple is good.  So I had a handful of blueberries in the fridge and tossed them in to my simple pancake mix and voila!  Yummy pancakes for breakfast.  Jó étvágyat!

Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, separated
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cups "Simply Perfect" Pancake Mix (See week 5)
• Handful of blueberriers
• 1 stick butter, for greasing the pan

Directions

1. Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F.

2. Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.

3. Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.

4. Gently fold in the blueberries.

5. Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface.

6. Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.)

7. Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle.  When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.

8. Allow to cool slightly and serve with syrup.
