Blue Lemon Pancakes

1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour

3 T. granulated sugar

1 1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/4 C. buttermilk

1/4 C. butter — melted

2 large eggs — separated

1 C. blueberries — washed and sorted

Lemon wedges and confectioners’ sugar — optional

 

Heat oven to 200 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter & egg yolks. Pour buttermilk mix into flour mix & stir until combined. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter. Gently fold in blueberries. Heat a large nonstick griddle to medium-low heat. When griddle is hot, grease with butter or spray with cooking spray. Using 1/3 C. dry measure for each pancake, spoon batter on griddle. Cook until top of each pancake is speckled with bubbles & edges begin to look dry, 3-4 min. Turn pancakes with spatula & cook until the underside is lightly browned, 2-3 min. more. Serve immediately with extra butter; sprinkle with lemon juice & confectioners’ sugar. Repeat process with rest of batter.
