Welcome to Keya's recipes. Over time, Keya will be sharing
some of her favorite recipes. She wanted to start this off with her favorite
Breakfast recipe.
Maine Wild Blueberry Pancakes
|
Start with the following ingredients:
2 cups All Purpose
flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 tablespoon butter
milk
1 cup wild Maine blueberries
plus melted butter for the griddle
|
| Add the eggs, melted butter, and about 1/2 cup of milk to a mixing
bowl, whip until mixed. Add the dry ingredients, stirring them in
without over mixing. Add enough milk until the batter is that of a thick
paste, or cream of wheat. Add the blueberries and mix lightly. Preheat a
griddle or pan to 400 degrees, coat thoroughly with melted butter. The
griddle temperature is right when a drop of water breaks into
smaller drops that dance across the griddle. Use a 1/3 cup for a measure
for each pancake, turn when the first bubbles begin to burst. The thick
batter will make for a thick pancake. |
Servings: 4 normal people, or Keya and a not too hungry friend.
