Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes

When I was little one of my favorite books was Old Black Witch by Wende Devlin. In the story a boy named Nicky and his mother want to make a sort of bed and breakfast in an old farmhouse. When they arrive and start trying to remodel they are dismayed to find an old witch living in the house. Somehow it transpires that the witch makes killer blueberry pancakes. She is installed as the resident chef and the business is a huge success.

I guess this is part of the reason I have always been on a subconscious search for the perfect amazing blueberry pancake. My friend, Bob steered me to this and it is wonderful. Old Black Witch would be impressed.

Tips and Hints

• Overmixing will result in heavy pancakes rather than fluffy pancakes


• I used a large spoon to put the batter on the griddle


• You can leave the blueberries out if you like plain buttermilk pancakes


• On the Fourth of July I made these into Red, White and Blueberry pancakes by adding a half cup of raspberries. They were delicious.
