中文： Buttermilk 蓝莓煎饼

Pancake is always a popular weekend breakfast choice in our house. And the top pancake choice is of course, blueberry! Every summer we go to blueberry farm and pick buckets of blueberries. After making blueberry jam, cakes and other delighted desserts, I pack extra blueberries in zip-loc bags and store them in freezer so that they last through winter until the next summer comes.

We always do the pancakes DIY style. A large griddle is set on the breakfast table, with pancake batter, toppings, jam, honey or syrup and spatulas on the side. Both of us get to cook our own pancakes the way we like! O(∩_∩)O~

Pancake ingredients:

1 cup of all purpose flour
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt
1 to 2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

Blueberry sauce ingredients：

2 cups of frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (use more if you have a sweet tooth)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon corn starch

Directions：

First we prepare blueberry sauce.

In a small soup pot, add blueberries, lemon juice, brown sugar and water. Heat over high heat until the mixture comes to boil. Reduce the heat to medium or medium low. Cook for another 7 to 9 minutes until the sauce can thinly coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Whisk together the corn starch and 2 to 3 teaspoons water. Add to the blueberry sauce while whisking. Cook for another minute. Remove from heat.

I like my blueberry sauce a little thin and runny so that it can be poured over the pancakes like syrup.

Now, we can get started with the pancake batter.

Shift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.

In a medium bowl, add eggs, buttermilk and oil. Whisk together.

Add shifted flour to the egg milk mixture. Whisk just until the dry flour is gone. Don’t over mix because the more you whisk, the more gluten will form, and the chewier your pancakes will get.

Heat the electronic griddle to 350.

Add batter. We are using a non-stick griddle so I skip oil spray. If you use a cast iron griddle or stainless steel pan, oil spray will be a life saver! O(∩_∩)O~
