Blueberry Pancakes

Blueberry Pancakes for breakfast… one of my favorite weekend treats.

This is another variation of our Best Homemade Pancake recipe. We’ve added a little bit more sugar to cut down on the acidity of the blueberries. Since we don’t have blueberries in Guatemala, the best we can do is find Dole’s frozen blueberries at Pricemart, which are the ones I used for this recipe. Before you use them, let them thaw and discard the liquid.  On one occasion, I didn’t want to wait for them to thaw, and used them frozen… I got purple pancakes.  So my advice is to always use defrosted berries to get the best presentation.

As far as cooking pancakes made from scratch, I have found that cooking at medium temperature ( I set it at 4) for 2 minutes on each side will result in perfect golden pancakes.  Set it too high, and they will over brown.  Too low, and you will get pale pancakes.

These are especially good with whipped cream, so go ahead… indulge.

A Foodies’ Kitchen Original Recipe
Yield: 6 Pancakes

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup flour

  2. In a separate bowl, mix egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.

  5. Set the batter aside to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  6. Fold in your blueberries, be careful not to mix too hard or you can burst them and will end up with purplish pancakes.
  7. Heat the frying pan over the medium-high heat and brush it with few drops of oil or butter (you can use paper towel f you decide to use oil).
