Giant Cast Iron Blueberry Pancake Recipes

OVEN-BAKED BLUEBERRY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in upper third. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or other nonstick ovenproof pan) in oven. Whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter in another bowl. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined.
• Remove skillet from oven and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, swirling to coat. Pour in batter and smooth top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle evenly with blueberries and remaining 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
• Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool 5 minutes before dusting with confectioners' sugar and serving with syrup.

GIANT CAST IRON BLUEBERRY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F. Place a cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat with the oven. You should use at least a 10-inch skillet or a 12-inch skillet will make a thinner pancake.
• In a medium-large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and syrup.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined and no dry flour is showing.
• Pour in 2 tablespoons of melted butter along with most of the blueberries (save a few for dotting on top) and the lemon zest.
• Remove cast iron skillet from the oven (careful it's hot) and place on stove over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt. When butter is melted and bubbling, pour in pancake mixture. If you reserved a few blueberries, distribute them over the surface of the pancake.
• Cook pancake for a minute on the stovetop and then transfer back to the oven. Bake pancake for 18-20 minutes until it is set in the center and the edges are starting to brown. If you use a larger 12-inch skillet, baking time will be closer to 12-15 minutes.
• Remove pancake and let cool for a few minutes. Then carefully flip the pancake out onto a plate. Slice the pancake and serve with butter and syrup!

CORNMEAL-BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving toward the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat. (Lumps are fine.) Coat your blueberries in a teaspoon of flour so that they don't sink, then stir them into the batter. The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to overcrowd the cooking surface.
• Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.
