[ old-fashioned blueberry pancakes ]

MY FAVOURITE thing about weekends is waking up on Sunday morning and making something special for breakfast. And what better treat than homemade blueberry pancakes?

Lisa's old-fashioned blueberry pankcakes

This batter is so simple to make and sure beats store-bought pancake mix!

what you need:

1 1/2 cups flour

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp white sugar

1 1/2 cups milk

1 egg

3 tbsp butter, melted in a mug in the microwave

splash of vanilla

sprinkle of cinnamon

1/2 cup blueberries (or more if you like lots!)

how to:

In a large bowl, wisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Wisk until smooth. Stir in blueberries. Let sit for about 10 minutes.

Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat and melt a dab of butter into it. Pour or scoop the batter into the pan using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Flip over when small bubbles appear around the edges and bottom is brown. Repeat with remaining batter (keep cooked pancakes warm in a covered bowl as you continue to cook). To serve, stack on a plate, add a dab of butter and top with maple syrup. Yum! Happy weekend!
