Want to take your breakfast to new heights? Let me show you how to add a new dimension to your Blueberry Pancakes! I found this fun recipe in the August 2013 Bon Appetit. Served at a restaurant in Fort Collins, CO called Snooze; is their Blueberry Blossom Pancake. The two components that take it to the next level are the homemade blueberry syrup and streusel topping. It makes a beautiful presentation for guests yet is simple enough to make any day.
There are 3 basic steps to this recipe. Pureeing the syrup, baking the streusel and making the pancakes. Assembly is a snap, resulting in a beautifully plated yummy meal!
RECIPE: THE BLUEBERRY BLOSSOM PANCAKE
INGREDIENTS
BLUEBERRY SYRUP
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup blueberries
STREUSEL
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
PANCAKES
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
- Vegetable oil (for skillet)
- 1 cup blueberries (about 5 ounces)
PREPARATION
BLUEBERRY SYRUP
-
Purée syrup and blue-berries in a blender until smooth; set aside.
STREUSEL
-
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine oats, flour, and brown sugar on a small rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with butter and toss to coat. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15–20 minutes. Let cool.
-
DO AHEAD: Streusel can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
PANCAKES
-
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, and butter in a med- ium bowl, then whisk into dry ingredients.
-
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with oil. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter into skillet and top each with 2 tablespoons berries. Cook pancakes until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Serve pancakes topped with syrup and streusel.
