Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (190g) whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tbsp (16g) cane sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 cup (240ml) low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp (28g) melted unsalted butter
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (140g) fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup (120ml) pure Grade A maple syrup
- 1 cup (140g) fresh blueberries (for syrup)
- 1 tsp (5ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch (1g) salt (for syrup)
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently pour the dry ingredients into the wet and fold together with a spatula until just combined, leaving a few streaks of flour.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Gently fold in the blueberries at the last second.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or avocado oil.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set and matte (about 2-3 minutes).
- Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Combine maple syrup, fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and salt in a small saucepan; simmer until blueberries burst and syrup thickens.
