Blueberry pancake

Blueberry pancakes are a breakfast favorite around the world. Though the dish has been around for centuries, the modern blueberry pancake recipe is a relatively new invention.

Pancakes have been around since ancient times and were originally made with a simple batter of flour, water and milk. Blueberries were not a part of the original pancake recipe, but were likely added later on as a way to add flavor and sweetness to the dish.

The first recorded blueberry pancake recipe was published in the Boston Cooking School Cookbook in 1896. The recipe called for the berries to be added to the batter before cooking.

Advice

Making the perfect blueberry pancake is not as hard as it sounds! My advice is to mix all the dry ingredients together, then whisk in the wet ingredients until you have a batter. Once you have your batter, fold in the blueberries. Be sure to not over-mix the batter or else you will end up with a tough pancake. When it is time to cook, use a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Then, spoon the batter onto the skillet and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is golden. Flip and cook the other side. Serve with your favorite syrup and enjoy!
