Blueberry Pancakes & Bean Bags

Andy treated us to homemade blueberry pancakes yesterday morning...
oh.my.goodness!
They were fabulously, amazingly delicious!

Treat yourself to some too!

Ingredients:
1.5 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 &3/4 cups or as needed buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter + butter for serving
2 cups blueberries
canola oil for cooking
pure maple syrup for serving

makes four servings

Directions:
Preheat oven to 2oo degrees.  

In a large bowl sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, & salt.  

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 & 3/4 cups buttermilk, the eggs, & the 3 tablespoons melted butter.  

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined.  
Fold in blueberries. 

Place a griddle over high heat until hot.  Turn heat back down. Lightly oil griddle. 

For each pancake, pour about 3/4 cup of batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about  minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 1-2 minutes more.  

Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.

Repeat.  If batter begins to thicken, thin it with a bit of buttermilk.  

Enjoy!

& I made AJ some bean bags the other day with scraps from my stash.
Super simple & since he would just be throwing them around, I wasn't super cautious about sewing perfectly.... 

(So don't look too closely.)

There is a quick tutorial here.

Thanks, but I could not have done it without my little helper AJ trying to eat all the ingredients first- Andy

Love the bean bags. Andy, I cordially invite you to my new house, once it's built, to make everyone blueberry pancakes! Well, everyone except JL. He now has an aversion to them.
