Ingredients
- Cook Time - Until Golden Brown or Your Preference
- PANCAKE BATTER
- • 2 cups flour (500 mL)
- • 2 tsp. baking powder (10 mL)
- • 1 tsp. baking soda (5 mL)
- • 2 tsp. sugar (10 mL)
- • ½ tsp. salt ( 2 mL)
- • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- • ½ cup sour cream (125 mL)
- • 2 cups milk (500 mL)
- BLUEBERRY SAUCE
- • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (500 mL)
- • ½ cup white sugar ( 125 mL)
- • 2 tbsp. butter or margarine (30 mL)
- • ¼ tsp. nutmeg (1 mL)
- • 1 tbsp. lemon juice (15 mL)
Instructions
- PANCAKE BATTER
- 1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- 2. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream and milk. Beat well with a wire whisk.
- 3. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and beat with the wire whisk until the batter is fairly smooth. A few small lumps won’t hurt the pancakes.
- 4. Heat a greased griddle or heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour batter on to the hot griddle and cook until the top is bubbly and the pancake is slightly dry around the edges. Turn and cook on the other side until just golden brown.
- BLUEBERRY SAUCE
- • In a saucepan, mix blueberries, sugar, butter, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and simmer for five minutes. Add lemon juice and serve. Extra sauce can be stored in the refrigerator. It’s also good with waffles, or cold, over ice cream!
