Indulge with Berries – Pancake Style

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Blueberry PancakesSo, I’m not always about diet food these days.  There’s a lot more out there to eat than salad, and not every meal must be penance for past caloric sins.  That being said, these pancakes are not light fare.  They are, however, delicious and pretty simple to make.  Besides, after the berry-picking trip of two weeks ago, I’ve got several packets of hand-harvested blueberries in the freezer ready to go.

First, I would exhort you to make these from scratch.  Jiffy mix and Bisquick are convenient, sure, but that box of miscellaneous baking mix that’s been sitting in your cupboard for months isn’t going to give you the best results.  Besides, if you’re going to spend the calories on something tasty, doesn’t it make sense to put some love into it?  Making your own batter also ensures that you know exactly what you’re eating.  Plus, it’s just really simple to do.

Ingredients:

1 c flour, unbleached all-purpose
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 c soy or skim milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 whole egg
1/4 tsp cinnamon, fresh ground if possible
1 c blueberries, fresh or frozen, rinsed & drained
