Blueberry Pancakes - A Decadent Treat

When Nick and I were dating, on Sundays we would often go to the Natural History museum and then walk over to Sarabeth's for a scrumptious brunch. One of our favorite dishes was the buttermilk pancakes with blueberries - so delectable, tangy, tender and with subtle creaminess. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday mid afternoon!

Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups basic pancake mix
1 tablespoon clarified butter or vegetable oil.
   as needed
Softened unsalted butter for serving
Warm maple syrup

Directions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until broken. Whisk the milk, buttermilk, sugar, and vanilla until blended.

2. Place the pancake mix in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the egg mixture. Gently gold in with a whisk until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the pancakes will end up tough and gummy.

3. Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Brush with clarified butter to lightly coat, then wipe off any excess with a clean kitchen or paper towel. Using a 2-inch diameter ice-cream scoop or a dry measuring cup (scant 1/3 cup) for each pancake, portion the batter onto the griddle, leaving an inch or so between the pancakes. Gently spread each into a 4-inch round with the back of the scoop or cup and cook until tiny bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately, or keep warm on a half-sheet pan with parchment paper in a preheated 200 degree F oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.

4. Serve hot, with softened butter and warm syrup.

Blueberry Pancakes: Fold 2 cups fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix. Serve hot, with warm maple syrup, and top with a few fresh blueberries.
