Janettes Buckwheat Blueberry Beer Pancakes With Blueberry Syrup Recipes

CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• For the blueberry syrup: In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes on low. Stir in the cornstarch, then continue to cook, using a whisk or spoon to mash the larger pieces of blueberries. Remove from the heat when the syrup is nice and thick.
• For the cornmeal pancakes: Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vinegar, vanilla and eggs. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Stir in the melted butter. If the batter is overly thick, splash in a small amount of milk.
• Heat 1 tablespoon melted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. When hot, drop in 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Continue with the remaining batter, using more melted butter as needed
• Stack some pancakes for each serving, placing a pat of butter on top. Drizzle with warm maple syrup if desired, then spoon blueberry syrup over the top. Dig in!

SUNNY'S CANDY BAR PANCAKES WITH SCARY BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
• Mix the wet ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk the milk, oil and egg together.
• Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix gently until combined with a wooden spoon. Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Make the pancakes: On a griddle or in a large pan, add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt on low heat. Then raise the heat to medium-high. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out the pancake batter and pour onto the prepared griddle/pan. Allow to set a bit on the bottom, and then sprinkle crushed candy bar bits over the top. When bubbles begin to appear around the edge and center, flip the pancake and cook until a peek underneath reveals a golden bottom. Repeat in batches using more butter, if needed, until all done. (Keep the pancakes warm in a 100 degree oven on a baking sheet.) Serve with Scary Blueberry Syrup.
• Make the scary blueberry syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries, 1 cup water, sugar, lemon zest and juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break up blueberries as they cook. Once reduced and thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Taste and add just a pinch of salt to season. Serve warm.

BLUEBERRY BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, nonfat milk, honey, eggs, and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. Stir in 1 cup of berries.
• Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium flame. Ladle the batter onto the skillet with a 1/4-cup measure. Flip the pancake when it is golden brown on the bottom and bubbles are forming on top, about 1 1/2 minutes. Cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Serve topped with more blueberries and the maple syrup.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Cut the butter into small pieces and melt in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave. Remove and cool.
• Heat the griddle over medium heat.
• Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and melted butter together. Stir until you have a lumpy batter, but don't over mix.
• Carefully wipe the griddle down with vegetable oil using a paper towel. Add a very small pat of butter to the griddle and swirl to melt. Once the butter is foamy, add the pancake batter using a 1/4-cup ladle. Flip the pancakes once you see a ring of bubbles around the edges, about 3 minutes. Cook the next side for about 2 minutes more.
• Wipe the griddle clean and re-oil and butter between each batch. Repeat for the remaining batter. Serve immediately with Blueberry Syrup.
• Add the syrup and blueberries to a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Smash a few of the berries with a wooden spoon against the sides of the pan. Serve over buttermilk pancakes.

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.

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!).
