We are a family that loves pancakes for breakfast on the weekend. Especially pancakes loaded with fruit. This weekend I made a batch with strawberries and blueberries. I also had to make a few with chocolate chips for MJ.
I started by cleaning about 6 large strawberries and 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries. Sometimes we also do bananas, but the boys didn't want any this time. I used some of the fruit in the pancakes and the remainder I put on top.
This batter is a little thicker than the traditional box mix, but it is so much better.
Please excuse my old skillet, I really need to buy a new one, but it is the largest I have :-)
I love to put the fruit in the batter once it is in the skillet, they look so good!!
These are MJ's chocolate chip pancakes with a side of strawberries and homemade whipped cream.
1 & 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all purpose flour
4 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon orange rind
4 tablespoon melted butter
fruit
Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, butter, milk, vanilla and orange rind. Then slowly pour dry mixture into wet mixture and combine until no longer lumpy. Put approximately 1/3-1/4 cup of batter into a pre-greased skillet. I like to use butter, but cooking spray will work also. If you use fruit add it after adding the batter to the skillet. Once you see bubbles flip once. After a few minutes the pancake will be ready.
This recipe yields at least 8-10 large pancakes.
Whipping cream
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoon powdered sugar
Whip all 3 ingredients together until you get peaks. Once you get the peaks, STOP beating, or the cream will look curdy like mine :-(
