Instructions

To Make Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl stir all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate smaller bowl beat the eggs. Whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter to the smaller bowl.
Pour slowly the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk and mix it till it is well combined and moist. The batter should still be slightly lumpy and thick. Do no over-mix it.
In a skillet on medium heat melt some butter enough to coat the pan. Take a ladle and drop the batter onto the pan and add a few blueberries to each pancake. When the top of the surface starts to bubble flip it over. Then after 1 min check the other side to see if is golden brown if not cook a little bit more till it is. You can always adjust the heat if needed. Serve with the homemade blueberry maple syrup.

To Make Homemade Blueberry Maple Syrup

Wash and stem the fresh blueberries. Combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and maple syrup to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes till the berries are slightly softened. Take a fork and mash the berries into the sauce. Simmer the syrup uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally and mashing the blueberries.

Notes

Too much stirring can turn the pancakes into tough, rubbery, and flat disappointments.

1 cup cheddar cheese curds

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Place parchment paper in a 10-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients, except the bacon and cheese curds.
Line the bottom of the loaf pan with half the bacon slices. Each slice should over lap each other and overhang on the sides. Press half of the meatloaf mixture into the pan. Make a groove with your hands in the middle of the loaf. Then add a row of cheese curds pressing down into the meat. Then put the rest of the meatloaf mixture on top of the cheese curd layer. Fold over the bacon that is overhanging.
Using the parchment paper that was lined in the pan flip the meat loaf onto another sheet of parchment paper to finish wrapping the meatloaf. Take the rest of the bacon slices to wrap the other side and sides. The meatloaf at this point should have bacon on all sides. Tuck the bacon pieces in so it is nice and neat and then return the meatloaf back into a lined parchment paper loaf pan.
Bake the meatloaf at 350ºF for one hour and 10 min or until the internal temperature reaches 165 ºF. It will be full of grease when done. Take out the meatloaf onto another platter and let it cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
