Lemon-Blueberry Pancakes

I pretty much love anything with lemon, so I really enjoyed these pancakes. The recipe is from Pioneer Woman, so you know it's a keeper!

 

• 1-1/2 cup Cake Flour
• 1 Tablespoon (additional) Cake Flour
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Tablespoon (heaping) Baking Powder
• 3 Tablespoons Sugar
• 1-1/2 cup Evaporated Milk (more If Needed)
• 1 whole Lemon (more If Needed)
• 1 whole Large Egg
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
• Zest From 1 Lemon
• 1 cup Heaping Blueberries
• Extra Butter
• Maple Or Pancake Syrup

Heat heavy skillet or grill over medium low heat.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix evaporated milk, juice of 1 lemon (more if lemon isn't very juicy), and lemon zest. Allow to sit for five minutes, then add egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix to combine.

Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine. Splash in more evaporated milk if mixture is overly thick.

Stir in blueberries.
 
 
Melt butter in heated skillet. Drop batter by 1/4 cup measures and fry pancakes on both sides until golden.
 
 
Serve and enjoy!

 

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes

Imagine pancakes and cinnamon rolls had a baby. A very tasty baby. You'd have these little wonders:I highly recommend them. My husband doesn't really like breakfast, but he gobbled them up this morning. Recipe from Frugal Antics of a Harried HomemakerPancakes  (I halved the recipe and made 8 pancakes)

1/2 cup oil

3 cups buttermilk

3 cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

pinch salt

1/4 cup sugar

Cinnamon Swirl

1 stick butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp cinnamon

Cream Cheese Icing 

2 cups powdered sugar
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla
4 Tbsp milk

 Pancakes

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix with a mixer. Make it as smooth as possible. Pour on a hot griddle and cook. Add cinnamon swirl (see below) before flipping.

 

 

 

Cinnamon Swirl

In a large microwave safe bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth.  Microwave on high for 10 second increments until it is soft and can be squeezed through a pastry bag.  Transfer mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip.  Or, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.

Pour pancake batter onto hot griddle.  Pipe cinnamon mixture onto batter in a swirl shape.

When pancakes are lightly browned, flip and cook until done.

Cream Cheese Icing 

Combine ingredients using a hand mixer, mixing until smooth. Pour the icing into another pastry bag or Ziploc bag. 

Drizzle it over the cooked pancakes.

 

Cinnamon swirled deliciousness!
