Most pantries have a box of premixed pancake mix on the shelf. If you have a couple extra minutes to make your pancakes from scratch this is the recipe you must try. The pancakes turn out light and fluffy. The buttermilk and vanilla add a terrific flavor. You can substitute any berry for the blueberries.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk

1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, plus some more frying

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat the eggs with the buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter. Combine the dry and the wet ingredients into a lumpy batter, being careful not to over mix, see Cook’s Note*.

Heat some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet and sprinkle the top with some of the blueberries. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Serving suggestions: whipped cream and maple syrup. Servings: 4 to 6 pancakes. Total time: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 15 min.

*Cook’s Note: Over mixed batter will result in flat, heavy pancakes.
