  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 11/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ cup sugar

To Make Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

  2. In a separate smaller bowl beat the eggs. Whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter to the smaller bowl.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  1. 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

  • Cook Time: 20
  • Total Time: 45

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 fresh peaches (about 2/3 lb.)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon cold salted butter
  • 2 (16.3 oz.) cans refrigerated large Southern-style biscuits
  • 4 teaspoons of powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Make a small, shallow x in the bottom of each peach, just to break the skin. Place each peach in the boiling water for 10 seconds; immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Peel the skin with a paring knife. Remove the pits, and cut the peaches into slices.
  2. Place the peach slices, sugar, lemon juice, and cardamom in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir together cornstarch and water into the mixture. Increase heat to high till it boils the mixture thick about one minute. Remove from heat, add butter and stir.
  3. Take a long sheet of parchment paper on your counter. Open up the biscuits and take out all the precut slices. Then tear each slice in half again. Take 4 of the slices and smooth them out with your fingers till it makes a circle. Place a heaping tablespoon of the peach sauce in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half, pressing the edges together to make a half-moon shape. Press edges with a fork to seal.
  4. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar.
