Perfect Blueberry Pancakes



Continuing with my blueberry obsession, I wanted to share with you my tips for perfect blueberry pancakes.

We love fresh blueberry pancakes, but it took me a while to figure out how they always look so perfect in restaurants and not-so-perfect at home. My blueberries always clumped together into one corner of the pancake when I followed the directions to add them to the batter. I think I learned this tip on Oprah or Martha or one of those shows.



Start with plain pancake batter.
Pour batter as usual.


So here is what it looks like, right?



Using blueberries that have been washed and dried, plunk them down into the batter quickly.
Space them evenly.
Use as many or as few as you like.




Grab a big spoon and scoop up some batter.


 Working quickly, cover the berries with as little batter as you can.
Don't glop it on there too much because you want them to cook evenly.


Use just enough to cover the berries.




Cook as usual.




Enjoy!
Pin It!

You reminded me that the one and only time I tried to make those (a long time ago) nobody told me about the wash and DRY part. My pancakes were a gigantic watery mess!

Yours look amazing!
