Blueberry Growth Spurt
I love growth spurt days. Sophia slept in until 9:30 and she ate A LOT of Muesli this morning, probably half a cup or maybe more.
Yesterday I finished the last of our blueberries. I added them to just about every breakfast and even made blueberry pancakes myself for the first time ever. Usually pancakes are a Kurt made breakfast from a box of Bisquick which contains trans fats, the latest mad made no-no food ingredient. I was going to use Bisquick for my first attempt at pancakes, but we were down to a quarter cup. Not many pancakes to be made from that, so I tossed it and looked up some recipes.
- 1 ½ cup flour
- 3 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ¼ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter
I actually use a lot less butter, more like one tablespoon but three is what the original recipe called for. Mix your dry ingredients together and in a separate bowl mix up the wet ingredients. Then mix it all together. After it’s all mixed add about a ½ cup (or a little more) blueberries or other small sliced/chopped fruit.
These turned out AWESOME, very fluffy and moist. They’re so much better than Bisquick pancakes (no offence to Kurtie) and really, just as easy to make.

i hate to be a brat, but i am related to Kurt. But what the heck is four and why would it be added to my pancakes? Could it possibly be ‘flour’. come on Erica, you’re better than that. Sorry, I won’t be a brat again. Or at least for today

nikka – Don’t lie. You LOVE being a brat. And come on, you’re better than that. Four is a number dear. Unfortunately that’s obviously not what I meant. It’s called a typo, brat.
Thanks for letting me know.
