Fair warning: I did not make the pancake recipe, and I probably never will, but I'm posting it anyway because it came with the blueberry sauce recipe. I did make the blueberry sauce, and it was
delicious.
Makes 12 - 4 1/2'' pancakes
Blueberry Sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp. corn starch
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
Drain blueberries, reserve juice; rinse berries with cold water
In a small sauce pan combine flour and corn starch. Add enough water to the blueberry juice to make one cup liquid. Blend into corn starch mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and is thick and clear. Cook over low heat five minutes longer; stir occasionally. Stir in lemon juice and butter. Keep sauce warm.
Blueberries can be used in the sauce instead of adding them to the pancake batter.
Blueberry pancakes
1 package Duncan Hines Blueberry Muffin Mix
1/3 c flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup water
1 egg
In a medium bowl blend muffin mix, flour and baking powder with a fork. Stir slightly beaten egg, water and oil. Mix until well blended. Stir in blueberries.
Pout batter in pre-heated, lightly greased griddle and cook until pancakes begin to dry around edges and bubbles form on top. Turn and cook until golden brown. Serve at once with blueberry sauce.
If you read that carefully, you will realize that it does not list an amount of blueberries to use. You will also realize that the sauce recipe directs you to combine flour and corn starch, when flour is not an ingredient. I'm 97% sure that should be "combine sugar and corn starch." I used a cup of frozen berries which melted was about 1/2-2/3 cup, and I used the berries in the sauce instead of adding them to the batter.
I just made regular pancakes and served them with the blueberry sauce. The blueberry sauce was a huge hit. C raved about it saying, "yum, yum, yummy in me bum, bum, bummy" at least 8 times. She doesn't pronounce her t's sometimes. She also asked for thirds of the sauce. I liked it a lot as well. Brian had a taste of the leftovers the next morning and also enjoyed it. It would be good on crepes, waffles, German pancakes, French toast and other breakfast foods.
She must like Katerina a lot. Russell would probably like this sauce rdcipe a lot as blueberries are his number 1 favorite fruit.
ReplyDeleteI was about to hastily criticize you for leaving out the blueberry amount and the flour, but then you corrected it yourself. I'm pretty sure this would be a hit with every member of the family and we still have a few blueberries that we picked over the summer, so I shall have to give it a try. I like the sound of french toast with blueberry sauce.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that Camille doesn't pronounce t's. There are several letters Andrew doesn't pronounce, but he replaces all of them with t.
I've had this before, with Mom. We both really liked it. Brooke eats every fruit I buy within a day of buying, so I am out of my frozen blueberry stash that was supposed to last the whole winter. Maybe I'll buy some frozen ones, because this recipe is delicious.
ReplyDeleteWe had this on German pancakes this morning. It was awesome. I used frozen blueberries and strawberries. Brooke was on her fifths an hour later.
