Blueberry Pancakes & Lemon Butter
pancakes:
2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 - 2 cup whole milk (use around 1 1/2 cup if you prefer your pancakes to be more dense)
2 eggs
4 tbsp butter (melted)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp molasses
blueberry compote:
1 1/2 cup blueberries
2-4 tbsp sugar (depending on how sweet the berries are on their own)
2 tsp lemon juice
dash of salt
lemon butter:
1 stick butter
1 tbsp powdered sugar
1 lemon (zest only)
Preparation:
Prepare the pancakes by adding all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the remaining ingredients, minus the butter. Whisk until smooth.
Melt the butter in the microwave (about 30 seconds). Add the butter to the batter, whisk until evenly incorporated.
Prepare the compote by adding blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and pinch of salt to a pot. Cook on medium, allowing mixture to simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Stir, then set aside and allow to cool.
To make the lemon butter, cream the butter using a stand/hand mixer for 2-3 minutes or until the butter is light and fluffy. Add the sugar and lemon zest, whip to combine.
Add a sliver of butter into a medium size frying pan on medium heat. Pour 1/4-1/3 cup batter into the pan. Rotate the pan to achieve a circular shape if needed. Cook for 60-90 seconds or until the pancake starts to have lots of small bubbles. Flip the pancake, cook for another 60-90 seconds.
Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, compote, and lemon butter.
Enjoy.
