Blueberry Pancakes

Once you've make pancakes from scratch, you will never go back to boxed pancake mix.  They are so easy to make!  However I need to practice my pancake flipping skills because sometimes they end up smushed sideways or up on the edge of the frying pan, whoops!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons of margarine or melted butter
• 1/2 cup of blueberries (or to taste)

 

Get a big bowl and mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter. 

Mix it until smooth and then add the blueberries.

Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, I use about 3 tablespoons for each pancake. Brown on both sides, you will know when to flip them when the edges turn color and the middle starts to bubble.

This recipe should make 8 but I usually only get 6 medium sized pancakes and then the last one is huge since I use up the rest of the batter.

I've tried these pancakes plain, with chocolate chips and with blueberries and the blueberry version is definitely my favorite (and my husband's favorite!).

 

Intro

I love to bake!  Almost every weekend you will find me in my tiny kitchen baking all sorts of sweet and savory treats.

I am not exaggerating about the tiny kitchen!  It is a 5' x 7' space, so small that the fridge has to be out in the dining room.  And my oven is so old that it doesn't even have a window!  I didn't even know that was possible!

I still consider myself a beginner in my baking adventure, it can be challenging but it is always fun.  I make mistakes and don't always have the right equipment but I will attempt almost any recipe, with occasionally disastrous results.

Success or failure, I will share my experiences and recipes with you.
