Buttermilk Pancakes & Warm Blueberry Sauce

Subject: Buttermilk Pancakes & Warm Blueberry Sauce February 12th 2009, 3:47 am

How about an old, sure fire Betty Crocker recipe for breakfast?

Buttermilk Pancakes

1 egg
1 c. all-purpose flour*
1 c. buttermilk
1 T. sugar
2 T. vegetable oil
3 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt

Beat egg until fluffy; beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. Cook pancakes on hot griddle until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown. Makes nine 4" pancakes.

*If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.

Serve pancakes with your favorite syrup or the following blueberry sauce.

Quick Warm Blueberry Pancake Sauce

2 1/2 c. fresh or individually frozen blueberries (not in juice)
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. orange juice
1 T. cornstarch
2 t. lemon juice

Combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup of the orange juice in a medium-size saucepan. Warm the mixture over moderate heat, stirring it occasionally.

While the berries heat, blend the cornstarch into the remaining orange juice, using the back of a spoon to dissolve any lumps.

Increase the heat under the pan and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir the cornstarch mixture again and then stir it into the fruit. Cook the sauce at a low boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Cool the sauce for 5 to 10 minutes before serving (it will thicken as it cools). Makes about 2 cups.

Buttermilk is so difficult to get in London. Is there a way of making your own?

I never buy buttermilk, OFTF. I don't like the way it tastes, just to drink it, and it's not worth buying a quart for just one recipe. Besides, it's a snap to make for cooking purposes.

Just take 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar (I usually use vinegar) and add enough sweet milk (whole milk or 2%) to make one cup. Let it set for just a couple of minutes, and you're ready to bake or cook with it. That's all there is to it. Enjoy!
