Blueberry Syrup and Blueberry Pancakes

Blueberry Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup

Blueberry Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup

I love blueberries and enjoy them in all sorts of dishes. For breakfast I can’t think of a better dish than blueberry pancakes with fresh made blueberry syrup. We made these in class the other night and everyone enjoyed them. The pancakes were light and very fluffy. The secret is not to over mix them. The batter was stirred until just mixed. The syrup is pretty simple. Just three ingredients blueberries, sugar and a little water. We served it warm over the pancakes.

 

Blueberry Pancakes

2 c. biscuit mix*
1 c. milk
2 eggs
1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries

Combine mix, milk and eggs until just blended. Fold in berries. Pour batter by scant 1/4 cups in lightly greased griddle or skillet over moderate heat. Turn when pancakes are dry around the edges. Cook until golden brown. Makes about 13.

* Like Bisquick or Jiffy Mix or home made- recipe follows

Biscuit Mix

8 c. flour
1 c. powdered milk
1 c. powdered buttermilk (or 1 more cup powdered milk)
1/4 c. baking powder
1 T. salt
1 1/2 c. shortening*

Combine dry ingredients and cut in shortening until well mixed. Store in tightly covered container. Makes 10 cups.

* You can substitute coconut oil or butter for the shortening- but mix will have to be kept cool. Refrigerate if using butter and use withing 3 months.

Blueberry Syrup

4 c. blueberries
1 c. water
1½ c. sugar

In saucepan heat berries and water to a boil and boil 2 minutes. Crush berries with a potato masher as they cook. Add sugar and cook for 10- 15 minutes on medium heat until mixture thickens.  Process syrup with an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth.  Cool, then refrigerate. Keeps a couple of weeks.
