To make a lemon blueberry syrup it is so amazing drizzled over these light and fluffy pancakes so follow along and I will show you step by step how to make this scrumptious breakfast this recipe before we get started here are the ingredients that you are going to need okay
First up we have flour and this is just regular allpurpose flour and then we have some granulated sugar to some white sugar and this is what’s going to help give our pancakes a really nice golden color but this is 1 tbspoon of baking powder and then 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of baking
Soda and then I have some sea salt and and room temperature eggs and then I have some buttermilk some melted butter 1/3 cup I have some vanilla extract a lemon and I’m going to be using the zest and the juice and then some fresh blueberries and then for my syrup
I actually have some frozen blueberries I’m using fresh in the pancakes um but this recipe works really great with frozen blueberries and I love using the Frozen because they’re a little bit less expensive and just easier to keep on hand so frozen blueberries about cups sugar I have
Some corn starch that’s going to help thicken it and then I’m also going to be using the zest and the juice of one lemon okay to get started I’m going to add my blueberries to the pan and then
I’m going to add one tblspoon of corn starch to my sugar and just mix that in a little bit until it’s combined and we’re just going to add that on to the berries and then I’m just going
To zest a lemon and this works so good this is the best way to zest a lemon right here is on a microplane they aren’t very expensive but boy they do a great job with getting a really fine
Zest on any Citrus and just going to put that in there okay and then to finish this off I’m going to add one cup of water and then I have this on medium high heat and we are just going
To bring it to a boil and let it boil for about a minute and then we’ll add a little bit of vanilla at the end and it will be ready to go on our blueberry pancakes okay so while that syrup is
Cooking I am going to mix up my pancake syrup so I have my flour and I’m going to add in my sugar and then I’m going to add in my baking powder and baking soda and my salt and you you want to
Be sure and whisk this together so that all of the baking powder and baking soda is combined and with flour and then for the buttermilk I’m going to crack my eggs right into my buttermilk as well as the butter we go and give it a quick whisk
Now you can add your buttermilk to your flour mixture and then gently whisk this together my bowl is a little bit small here but we’re going to make it work okay now there’s a couple more things we’re going to add here I’m going to add in a little bit of vanilla
Extract and the zest of one lemon get all of that zest and then going to cut my lemon and juice it right into my bowl and then just mix that up until it is all combined and you want it to be a little bit lumpy if it’s not lumpy then you’ve probably
Over mix it so you just want to combine it until you don’t see any big clumps but the little clumps a little bit of texture there that’s great okay here is a look at our syrup it is now boiling so
We have just a minute left on that and I’m going to add in my lemon juice and then just a splash of vanilla and there we go that is just about right and it’s pretty runny right now but as it cools
It will thicken up just a little bit so there you go there’s your blueberry syrup okay and then for the blueberries just going to add them into my Bowl here and then fold the blueberries in you
Can see those little specks of lemon this is just a flavor combo made in heaven for sure all right and we are ready to cook okay to get started I’m going to turn my pan on medium heat and I just
Have this cast iron top that I bought from from Amazon and it just fits right on my stove and we want it to be on medium heat and you can kind of tell when steam starts to rise off of it that it
Is about ready to make some pancakes so I’m just going to give this just a minute okay as you can tell there is just a little bit of steam coming up off of this I’m going to grease it well and I
Just have some coconut oil spray that works great and then I’m just going to add try and make these as round as possible and the trick about making good pancakes is that you want the batter to be
Thick enough that it is going to not run too much but also thin enough so that it can cook evenly so as you can see it’s starting to cook here around the edges and you’ll know it’s time to flip when
The tops are bubbly so we’ll just watch those and you can see see how this progresses all right we have a few bubbles on the top so if you just peek under the pancake you can see how it is golden
Brown there we go and sometimes the first couple pancakes are a little tricky to get your heat right so I’m just going to turn this down just a little bit and when you’re checking your pancakes if it Springs back up that’s how you know it’s done throughout the
Middle and not doughy and if you press down it will kind of feel like you are pressing on a sponge or a cake if it’s really dense then it’s not done yet so this one actually looks
Great again I’m going to try and get it to be as round as possible there’s all kinds of fun ways to make pancakes there’s some squirter bottles you can get on Amazon I actually just like to
Use this big measuring spoon works really well okay and then if you see right here there are bubbles forming on the top of the pancake you want those to be a little bit closer together and then we’ll know it’s time to turn so that one’s not quite ready but this one is getting
A little closer all right and then also just peek underneath oh look how pretty that is all right here we go if you have some splatters just clean them up a little bit with your spatula there we
