Enjoy these fluffy blueberry pancakes any time of the year as part of a morning gathering of friends and family. A nice addition to a Brunch with Bubbles! The beaten egg whites add extra air and lightness, so they turn out fluffy every time.
Ingredients
2 Eggs (separated)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsps baking powder
3 tbsps sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup Whole milk
3 tbsps unsalted butter (melted)
1 tsp pure almond extract (or vanilla extract)
1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
Gather the ingredients
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff; set aside
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt
Beat the egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl
Add the milk, melted butter, and almond (or vanilla) extract
Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients; mix until the batter is smooth (do not overstir as this will create tougher pancakes), then fold in the blueberries
Fold in the beaten egg whites
Cook the pancakes on a hot greased griddle on one side until the edges start to firm, the bottom is brown, and they start to bubble
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until nicely browned
Serve with maple syrup or a fresh blueberry sauce, and of course Sparkling Syrah! Enjoy!
Tips
For even browning, use a paper towel to rub oil over the surface of the griddle. Too much oil will cause the pancakes to brown unevenly.
