snow day pancakes

There's a downside to living in prime location with a view that overlooks the city lights through bare trees. It makes it nearly impossible to travel up and down the hill that is my street when it ices over.

For today's snow day, I decided to whip up some blueberry pancakes since I had a tub of blueberries in the fridge.

























Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients:
2 eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teasooon salt1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen thawed blueberries, rinsed
Preparation:

In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff; set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Beat egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl; add milk and melted butter. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients; mix until batter is smooth and stir in blueberries. Fold in beaten egg whites. Bake on hot greased griddle.

These blueberry pancakes were just the thing needed to brighten my day, bring the sun out to shine, and gradually melt away the ice covered hill!
