I adore berry season! This past week I had loads of fresh and local blueberries, and of course, I had to make pancakes. I adore taking a bite of a fluffy pancake with a warm and juicy blueberry. What a great way to start a day. I wanted to share my recipe, with a slight twist, the delicious tang of lemon. I drizzled my pancakes with a lemon glaze, and one bite made my summer just a little better, lol! I hope you enjoy my take on blueberry pancakes. Happy Summer!
Notes
Freeze leftovers, including the leftover glaze (use a freezer bag for the glaze). Simply defrost and heat up the pancakes. Clip the corner of the bag the glaze is in, and squeeze on the pancakes (defrost the glaze at room temperature for a several minutes). This will make for a quick and homemade breakfast during the week.
Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups all purpose flour (I use unbleached)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk (I use 2%)
- 1 Tbsp oil (I use extra virgin olive oil)
- 1 egg
Glaze
- 1 cup powered sugar
- juice and zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Clean, strain, and dry blueberries (if using frozen, let them thaw out for at least 15 minutes and then pat dry).
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together. Add the salt and sugar, and mix well with a whisk.
- In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, and oil together.
- Add the flour to the wet ingredients and mix together until just combined. Do not over mix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Let the mix sit, while a griddle or pan is pre-heating. Oil pan or griddle if required. Give the mix a quick stir, and ladle the batter on the griddle. Flip once the top begins to bubble and the bottom is cooked. Remove from heat once the bottom is cooked.
- Zest and juice 1 lemon and mix with 1 cup powdered sugar for the glaze. If you like your glaze thinner, add a little water and if you like it thicker, add a little powdered sugar.
- Top the pancakes with the glaze and enjoy!
