Whole Grain Pancakes With Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• For the basic buttermilk pancakes: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the eggs until smooth, whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla until smooth. Add the wet to the dry along with the butter and the optional ingredients, if using, and mix until just combined. (Lumps are ok). Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes before using.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a griddle, nonstick pan or cast iron pan over medium heat until evenly heated, about 5 minutes. Brush with butter and add a few teaspoons of oil.
• Drop scant 1/4 cups of the batter onto the griddle or into the pan and cook until the bottom of the pancakes are golden brown and the top surface becomes slightly dry and bubbles begin to form, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip over using a fish spatula or metal spatula and cook until the other side is lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately slathered with the butter and drizzled with the syrup...or transfer to baking sheets in even layers and keep warm in oven.
• For the blackberry-blueberry butter (compound butter): Combine the berries, sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice and transfer to a bowl to cool. This mixture can be made 3 days in advance and can be stored, covered, in a bowl in the refrigerator.
• For a chunky butter: Combine the fruit, butter and salt in a bowl and mix until combined. For a smooth butter, combine the fruit, butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.
• Serve at room temperature or scrape into a bowl, cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze up to a month.
• For the maple-cinnamon syrup (flavored syrups): Combine the syrup, cinnamon and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove, cover with a lid and let steep for at least 1 hour. Can be made 3 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Bring to a simmer before serving and remove and discard cinnamon sticks.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, oats, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and honey. Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
• Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Check to see if it's hot by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. They should sizzle and evaporate immediately.
• Add a little butter to the pan and let it melt. Pour about 1/3 cup batter onto skillet; repeat to cook as many at one time as you can, leaving space for each pancake to spread.
• Cook until bubbles form and start to burst, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate as they finish, and serve immediately with maple syrup and more butter on top, if you like.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in buttermilk and egg. Stir just until smooth.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Place ingredients in a small saucepan and stir well.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, and pressing berries against the side of pan to crush slightly, until berries get slightly soft and mixture gets syrupy, 10-12 minutes.
• Can serve warm or cool.
