Saturday Morning Pancakes

Well, it's Saturday morning. We're both home in our pjs. Husband is still in bed. Puppy is racing up and down the stairs. One cat is enjoying the morning sun in the dining room. The other is by my feet. What this all translates to is that I need to make pancakes. Blueberry Pancakes with buttery maple syrup.

Now I am not an avid pancake eater. In fact when given the choice I ALWAYS choose waffles or french toast over your good ol' American flapjacks. But DH loves them and this recipe makes them so good that even I have to have more than one.

Saturday Morning Pancakes with Blueberries

Dry Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients
2 egg whites (you could use 2 whole)
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons melted butter

As many blueberries as you like (frozen or fresh)

Whisk together the dry ingredients; reserve 1 tablespoon. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients and add all at once to dry. Stir until just combined. In a plastic bag, add the reserved dry mixtures and blueberries and gently toss until berries are coated. Add to batter and stir gently until just combined. Do not over stir or the blueberries with break and stain the batter.

Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Grease with butter (I just run the stick over the hot griddle side to side until just coated). Add 1/3 cup of batter to hot griddle per pancake. Flip when edges start to bubble. Serve hot. Makes about 8 pancakes.

Buttery Maple Syrup

1 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter

Melt over low heat in a saucepan until combined. Pour over hot pancakes.

So there you go. A nice glass of cold milk and you are good to go!
