Sour Cream Pancakes with Roasted Blueberries

Zutaten

2 cups (320 g) blueberries, rinsed and drained

Packed 6 Tbsp dark brown sugar

1.5 cup (380 g) all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp kosher salt

4 eggs

2 cup (480 ml) sour cream

Unsalted butter for cooking and serving

Anweisungen

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

In a baking dish, combine the blueberries with 4 Tbsp of the brown sugar and stir to mix.

Roast for 20 min, pulling the baking dish out of the oven every 5 min to stir the berries, until their skins burst and they have released lots of juice.

Using a fork or a potato masher, crush the berries a bit so that they become jammy. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine.

Crack the eggs into a separate medium mixing bowl, add the sour cream and remaining 2 Tbsp brown sugar, and whisk until the mixture is uniform.

Pour the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture and use a wooden spoon to mix everything together. It's okay if the batter isn't perfectly smooth—it's better to undermix than overmix.

Set a large cast-iron skillet, a griddle, or your largest non- stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp butter.

Once the butter melts, swirl the pan or brush the griddle to evenly coat the surface.

Pour the batter into the pan in 1/4 cup increments to form pancakes that are roughly 4” in diameter; cook only as many pancakes at a time as can fit comfortably in your pan. The minute that pancakes become too precise is the minute they become no fun, so don't stress over this—it's okay if they're not all the same size.

Cook the pancakes until small bubbles appear on the surface and the undersides are nicely browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

Flip the pancakes over and cook until the second sides are nicely browned, another minute or so.

Transfer the pancakes to warm plates and continue making pancakes, adding more butter as you go, until you've used up all the batter.

Serve the pancakes immediately, with more butter on top and the warm roasted blueberries.
