Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes w/ Blueberry Maple Syrup


Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes w/ Blueberry Maple Syrup
Pancakes are just a part of life no child should go without, especially if you come from a family that has their own recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. The powers of a properly made pancake are endless. Whether your having a few pancakes in the morning to start off your day or having some at the end of a long evening to soak up some of your alcohol, pancakes are without a doubt a great meal in and unto themselves.

Today (September 26th) is National Pancake Day and we figured that everyone deserves to have a recipe that didn’t come off the back of a box in their arsenal. Now you can either try out our Vanilla Bean Blueberry Syrup which doesn’t take long to make at all and is delicious enough to bring you back for seconds and thirds or you can go it alone and stick to your store bought brand that won’t ruin anything, the choice is yours.

Regardless of what you put on your pancakes, take the time and enjoy making these with your

Recipe Of The Day: Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes


This is the type of recipe you wake a loved one up too, on a Sunday or Saturday morning, with some crisp Bacon, fresh fruit and a cup of whatever they like to sip on in the morning, even if it is a Mimosa. This recipe goes a long way as far as giving you energy to start off the day, or even better a full stomach to turn over and go back to sleep for a few more hours, leaving the dishes to someone else hands.
Enjoy your day either which way.

Ingredients
1 ½ cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 TBS seedless strawberry jam
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
1 large egg
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup granulated sugar (for a healthier lighter version, use Nectresse™ Sweetener)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of Kosher salt
2 cups chopped frozen cheesecake
Cooking spray
Butter, confectioners' sugar or whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Directions:
Mix the strawberries, jam and 2 tablespoons warm water in a bowl; set aside. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Pulse the flour, buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a blender until smooth.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cheesecake pieces, keeping them whole.
Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Working in batches, pour about 1/4 cup batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbly on top, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 more minutes.
Transfer the finished pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Serve the pancakes topped with the strawberry sauce; top with butter, confectioners' sugar or whipped cream, if desired.

Mass Produced Pancakes At Home?

Everyone loves to wake up to pancakes in the morning. Well that is unless your on the breakfast of champions diet that includes cigarettes and donuts before 5 am. But for the rest of the normal world, we love to eat pancakes and eat them in abundance. The thing is about those lovely little discs of dough that are covered in warm maple syrup surrounded by tasty bacon and eggs is that they take forever and when your the only one cooking, its hard to get it a chance to eat them while they are still hot.
