Questions

How do I know when Blueberry Pancakes is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 7: cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Step 8: cook until golden brown on the other side.

Why does Blueberry Pancakes say not to overmix?

Step 3 reads: "Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined." Stirring develops gluten, and gluten makes quick batters tough and tunneled. Stop at step 3 while a few streaks of flour remain; they hydrate on their own.

What can I use instead of maple syrup in Blueberry Pancakes?

The entry for Blueberry Pancakes calls for 1/2 cup maple syrup, for serving. In its place: Honey, measure for measure, or brown sugar dissolved in a little warm water.

Can I make Blueberry Pancakes dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Blueberry Pancakes is 1 1/4 cups milk, 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Blueberry Pancakes keep?

Refrigerate what is left of Blueberry Pancakes within two hours and eat it within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
