Week 39 - A Very Berry Happy 4th of July

I know, I know, I've done berries before.  But what can I say, I love berries and they're abundant in the summertime.  I enjoy trying new types of fruit and the farmers market (my new obsession) is a great place to find things you normally wouldn't at your average grocery store.  Just recently I tried wineberries, which look like small, shiny raspberries and are a bit tart but still delicious!  
So back to the recipe, I tried something different than just mixing in berries to my batter.  This time, I pureed some raspberries and used them as part of the liquids for the batter.  Turned out really good and will definitely try this again.    
Jó étvágyat!

What a beautiful color for pancake batter!

4. Add in the egg white and then fold in blue berries.
5. Lightly butter the griddle.
6. 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.

7. Serve with syrup.
