Nigella’s Pancake Mix with Blueberry Syrup
The other week I was inspired to make my own pancake mix after seeing an episode of Nigella Express. I don’t think I have made pancakes from a boxed mix since elementary school, but I never thought to make my own so I can quickly make pancakes on the weekends. I threw the ingredients together in a plastic baggie last week. After our run today it was quite nice to whip up a stack of flapjacks and top them with a flavorful blueberry syrup.
This isn’t a lengthly post, I just wanted to share with you a time saving pancake mix that you can whip up in about five minutes, stick it on the shelf for future use.
Ingredients
Pancake mix:
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
Pancake batter:
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
For the pancake mix:
Directions
Mix the above ingredients together and store in a jar.
For the pancake batter:
For each 1 cup pancake mix, add 1 egg, 1 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Do not overmix.
Heat a flat griddle or pan over medium-high heat.
Spoon drops of 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle and when bubbles appear on the surface of the little pancakes, flip them over to make them golden brown on both sides. A minute or so a side should do it.
Ingredients
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not fake processed stuff!)
2 tablespoons of water
1 cups blueberries
Directions
Put the syrup and blueberries into a pan and bring to the boil.
Let bubble for 2 to 3 minutes, and then pour into a jug and bring to the breakfast table with the pancakes.
