Too often when adding to the batter, by the time you get to the last two or three pancakes, you’re lucky if you get one or two blueberries per pancake. I made these both with adding the blueberries to the batter in the bowl and then adding them to each individual pancake just after they hit the griddle. Because you want a nice hot griddle, the butter burns too quickly and over darkens the pancakes before they have a chance to cook fully. I prefer to use cooking spray to lubricate the griddle in place of butter. These little guys softened by the heat, burst in your mouth when you bite into them, negating the need for syrup. Of course, we also get a bit of sweet and tart from the star of this whole ensemble: Driscoll’s Organic Blueberries. Since I'm not using buttermilk, it adds just the right amount of tang. To keep the whole wheat tender and moist, I've added some greek yogurt. But I can say that I will definitely be reaching for it more now. Will I give up cow's milk completely for it? Highly unlikely. I also decided the recipe was a great one to experiment with almond milk for the first time and I've concluded that I rather like it, much more than I thought I would.
These oats often break apart in the packaging, creating a powdery, thick dust and imparting no texture whatsoever. However, I don't recommend using instant oats. If you do use quick cooking, just skip the soaking and add them directly to the wet ingredients. Preferably use rolled oats (also packaged as "old-fashioned" rolled oats) because you'll get more texture though quick cooking oats will be fine. When we finished our pancakes, we'd crawl back into bed, carb coma lulling us back to sleep before we'd have to get up to ready ourselves for school.Īlso, to boost the fiber and texture even more, I've added oats. They were rich and buttery with that syrup in the bottle in the shape of a lady dripping off of every forkful. He used to regale us with his flipping technique: after loosening the pancake with a spatula, he'd make a quick flick of the wrist and the pancake went flying up in the air before floating back down to settle onto the nonstick pan. Dad's pancakes were fast and easy and extra flavorful because he'd add almond extract to his Bisquick pancake batter making them smell as great as they tasted. We'd get up, sleepy-eyed and join him in the kitchen for breakfast. We thought it was such a decadent treat, pancakes for dinner, and we always looked forward to it.Įven more special were those times when Dad was working second shift and he'd come home at 2 or 3 in the morning, wake us girls up with the promise of pancakes. We always had Bisquick pancakes and absolutely loved them. It was heaven.Īt home, it was a huge treat for us kids when Mom and Dad would make pancakes for dinner. We'd slather them with margarine and pour on an excess of light corn syrup and be bouncing off the walls the rest of the day.
They were the size of dinner plates, literally, and they were thick and chewy and had a yeasty, doughy flavor that I still long for. One of the highlights of spending the night at Grandma and Grandpa's when my sisters and I were children were Grandma's from scratch pancakes for breakfast.
