Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes Recipes

JANETTE'S BUCKWHEAT BLUEBERRY BEER PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• To make the syrup: Combine the blueberries, jam, brandy and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until blueberries start to pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Keep warm.
• To make the pancakes: In a mixing bowl, whisk the beer, egg white, honey, and vanilla. Stir in the pancake mix and blueberries.
• Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, pour in about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until browned on the bottom and bubbles begin to form on the top. Turn the pancakes and cook until browned on the bottom. Serve immediately, with the syrup.

BLUEBERRY BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a food processor blend together the flours, the baking powder, the sugar, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and the milk, add the flour mixture, and whisk the batter until it is combined well. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes and stir in the blueberries.
• Preheat the oven to 200°F. Heat a griddle over moderate heat until it is hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with the oil. Spoon the batter onto the griddle to form 3-inch rounds and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof platter and keep them warm in the oven. Serve the pancakes with the syrup.

OAT AND BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE (VEGAN)

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, the orange juice concentrate, and the allspice. Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow the pan to stand while you cook the pancakes.
• Meanwhile, place the rolled oats in a blender and grind to a coarse meal consistency. Transfer to a large bowl, using a rubber spatula to remove the ground oats from the blender. Add the flours, baking powder, and salt to the ground oats, stirring to combine well. Set aside.
• Place the flaxseeds in the blender and grind them to a powder, then add 1/3 cup water and blend for 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, the soymilk, and vanilla, and puree. Add this wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir well, so that all the flour is saturated with liquid.
• Heat a heavy griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Rub the griddle with about 1/4 teaspoon of oil. Pour the batter onto the griddle in 1/4-cup amounts. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the liquidy top of the pancake is strippled with air holes, then use a metal spatula to quickly turn the pancake over. Cook a minute or two longer, until the pancake is cooked through. (If in doubt, you can cut a small slit in the pancake with the edge of the spatula and take a look at the inside; it should look spongy, not liquidy.).
• Serve the pancakes as they come off the griddle or transfer them to a plate in a warm oven while you cook the rest. Just before serving, transfer the blueberry mixture to the blender and puree, then pour into a small pitcher or gravy boat. Serve the pancakes hot, passing the blueberry sauce. (Or you can freeze the pancakes and reheat them in the toaster oven on lazy mornings!).

DOUBLE-BUCKWHEAT BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle.
• Sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In another bowl, whisk eggs, then add buttermilk and honey or agave nectar, and whisk together. Whisk in vanilla extract and oil or melted butter.
• Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and quickly whisk together. Do not over-beat. A few lumps are okay. Stir in cooked kasha.
• In a separate bowl toss blueberries with 1/2 teaspoon flour.
• If necessary, brush hot griddle with butter. Drop by small ladlefuls (3 to 4 tablespoons) onto the hot griddle. Place 6 or 7 blueberries on each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to break through, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook for 30 seconds to a minute on the other side, or until nicely browned. Remove from heat and continue until all of the batter is used up. Serve hot, with butter and maple syrup.

WHOLE WHEAT BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift together flour and baking powder, set aside. Beat together the egg, milk, salt and artificial sweetener in a bowl. Stir in flour until just moistened, add blueberries, and stir to incorporate.
• Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, and spray with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbly, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn, and continue cooking until golden brown.
