BLUEBERRY PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• 1. To Make the Berry Compote: Place the blueberries sugar 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes or until the sugar melts and berries soften just slightly. Don't let the berries cook too long or they will become mushy and lose their beautiful shape. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the chopped mint.
• 2. To Make the Hotcakes: Whisk the ricotta and egg yolks together in a large bowl to combine then whisk in the buttermilk. Sift the flour baking powder and salt into the ricotta mixture. Stir with a whisk just until combined. Using an electric mixer beat the egg whites and sugar in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Using a large silicone spatula gently fold the egg whites through the batter in 2 batches. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. To cook the hotcakes: Melt some butter on a hot griddle pan over medium-low heat. Working in batches ladle the batter onto the griddle. Cook the hotcakes about 3 minutes per side or until the hotcakes puff become golden brown and are just cooked through.
• 3. To Serve the Hotcakes: Transfer the hotcakes to plates. Spoon the warm blueberry compote over the hotcakes.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

• Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in another large bowl. Add to dry ingredients. Stir until batter is just blended but still lumpy (do not overmix).
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter on griddle over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto griddle, spacing 2 inches apart. Cook until bubbles break on surface, about 3 minutes. Turn pancakes over. Cook until bottoms are golden, 3 minutes. Transfer to plates. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to skillet as needed.
• Serve pancakes immediately with butter and Blueberry Compote.

SPLENDA MADE BLUEBERRY PANCAKES & COMPOTE

Steps:

• 1. PLEASE NOTE--White Lily flour is a soft winter wheat flour, and lighter in texture than regular all purpose flour, or you can use cake flour for the same results. Vanilla Bean paste is a thick syrupy flavoring like extract but has the specks from the vanilla beans in it, I prefer it to Vanilla extract, but either will work. You CAN ALSO USE SUGAR IN THIS RECIPE IF YOU SO DESIRE.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt, and stir to blend together. If it is not while lily or cake flour, you should sift all the ingredients together.
• 3. Add the eggs to a medium size bowl and whisk to break the yolks, then add the milk, Greek yogurt. Vanilla bean paste or extract, and lemon extract,& melted butter then whisk again to blend all of the ingredients together.
• 4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gradually add the milk mixture whisking as you blend it all together.
• 5. If batter is too thick, add additional milk until it reaches the consistency you prefer. I had to add the additional 1/3 cup milk. Then add the thawed or fresh Blueberries, and gently fold into batter.
• 6. Now Spray griddle or skillet with non stick cooking spray and heat until hot, and using a quarter cup measuring cup scoop out 1/4 cup for each pancake, and pour onto griddle, allow to cook until bubbles form on the top, then flip to the other side to brown an additional minute or so, then remove from griddle and serve while hot, with your favorite syrup or topping. I made the Blueberry syrup/Compote to go with it.
• 7. The first batch of pancakes I used a 1/3 cup measure to make larger pancakes for my husband. Then the remainder I used a quarter cup size to make average size pancakes. Spray the cup with nonstick cooking spray to make for easier release of the pancake batter onto the griddle or skillet.
• 8. To make the Blueberry Syrup Topping, Combine the Splenda or zero calorie sweetener with the corn starch in a medium size sauce pan, and stir to blend, then add the thawed blueberries and water, stir to mix and heat over medium high heat, stirring as it heats and begins to boil and bubble around edges. It will thicken also, cook about 5-6 minutes or longer if needed, remove from heat when thickened and hot, add the butter flavored extract, stir to mix, and serve while still hot or when cool.
