Blueberry Buttermilk Pancake

A visit to the IHOP is always meant either for pancakes or omelets. I just can't have enough of those. While I was pregnant with Jordan, I used to feel sick in the initial months. During those days the only things I could have was dosas or pancakes. I have had plenty of servings of them and I am so much grateful to all those restaurants who served me with those and made me feel good.

I have always made these pancakes in the past. But to make the pancakes fluffy was always challenging for me. Finally I learnt the trick of making them fluffier.

These pancakes serve as a great breakfast option to start off your day. With some hot maple syrup to top it, accompanied with some melting butter, fresh fruits and a cup of black coffee is perfect to fall in love with. If you too are a pancake fan like me, you would definitely wanna try it soon. So here is the recipe for it.

Ingredients

1. 1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
2. 1/4 tsp of salt
3. 2 tbsp of sugar
4. 2 tbsp of melted butter
5. 2 large eggs
6. 1 1/4 cup of buttermilk
7. 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
8. 1/2 cup of blueberries

Method

• Beat the eggs untill it turns light and foamy. 
• In a bowl take the buttermilk and add the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar and give it a stir so that all the ingredients just combine. Add the melted butter and give it a stir. Now stir in the beaten egg.
• Keep the batter aside for about 10 minutes.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan. Once hot, turn it down to medium heat. 
• Pour a scoop of the prepared batter onto the hot griddle/frying pan. Sprinkle the blueberries on top of them.
• Cook it for 2 minutes/ untill the base turns golden brown and then flip it and cook it for another 2 minutes.
• Remove it onto a plate and serve immediately with some maple syrup and butter.

Tips

1. Make sure that you beat the eggs well and also combine all the ingredients just enough (Do not over mix it. Having some lumps in the batter is fine). All these steps help make the pancakes fluffy. 
2. You could keep the pancakes warm in the oven at 200 F, if not serving immediately .
3. Do not mix the blueberries in the batter ,rather spread it on the pancakes while making it, to avoid discoloring of the batter. Also if using frozen blueberries, use without thawing them to avoid discoloration of batter.
