Blueberry And Walnut Pancakes Recipes

BLUEBERRY VEGAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large skillet (preferably cast iron - see notes) on medium-low to medium heat. Using a paper towel, rub on a bit of oil. Each pancake takes about 8 minutes total to cook, so if you can only fit one pancake on your griddle, use 2 pans at once to reduce the total cooking time.
• In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, except the blueberries. Make a well in the middle and add in all the liquid ingredients. Mix with a fork until everything comes together. The batter should be mostly smooth, but a few small lumps are fine.
• When your griddle is evenly pre-heated (around 10 minutes if you are using cast iron), drop on a bit less than 1/2 cup of batter on the heated pan, and lightly spread the batter with the back of the spoon to make a round. Quickly place on about 1/4 cup of blueberries in a single layer before the batter it sets. Try not to put the blueberries on the edge of the pancakes, though some may roll to the edge as the batter settles. Drop on a bit more batter to partly cover some of the blueberries.
• Cook until the edges of the pancakes are dried and starting to brown, and the surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few blueberries have burst, about 5 minutes. You may need to adjust the heat to medium-low so the surface of the pancake does not burn. Keep in mind that these pancakes cook slow compared to other traditional pancake recipes since these are very thick and do not contain any egg. Do not rush the cooking time by turning up the heat. (See also the notes about how different materials of the griddle will affect the cooking process).
• Once the pancakes are ready, carefully flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, about 3-4 minutes more. Transfer to a cooling rack and cover loosely with aluminum foil. You may want to keep them warm in oven while you finish cooking the other pancakes.
• Continue with more oil and the remaining batter. I usually make 5-6 pancakes, depending on how large I make them. Serve with maple syrup and any other topping of choice.

MOM'S OATMEAL BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together oats, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Stir in eggs and buttermilk. Fold in blueberries.
• Pour or spoon the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

NEIL'S PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.
• In medium bowl, whisk together yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. Whisk yolk mixture into flour mixture until just combined; batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Place egg white in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or whisk by hand, until medium peaks form. Gently mix half the egg whites into batter with a rubber spatula. Gently fold in remaining whites. The egg whites should not be fully incorporated into the batter.
• Heat a griddle until hot, about 350 to 375 degrees. Add remaining unmelted butter to hot griddle. Add 1/4 cup pancake batter and let set. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon blueberries or sliced bananas and 1 teaspoon chopped walnuts, if using, over pancakes. When bubbles begin to form, lift pancake; if golden brown, turn. Cook until golden brown on remaining side.
• Transfer cooked pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat process with remaining batter, fruit, and nuts. Garnish with confectioners' sugar for blueberry pancakes and cinnamon sugar for banana-walnut. Serve warm with maple butter.

BLUEBERRY WALNUT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff.
• In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
• Beat egg yolks in another bowl. Add milk and melted butter.
• Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and stir in blueberries and walnuts. Fold in beaten egg whites. Bake on hot, greased griddle.
