I had made some homemade mascarpone for frosting my Easter carrot cake, and still had some leftover, so I decided to make pancakes with them. I had also bought blueberries with the thought of making either scones or muffins; however, I haven’t had any time to do that, and was still in the freezer. So I had one more ingredients to add in the pancakes. Since pancakes are always loaded with lot of calories I decide to make them slightly healthy by replacing all purpose flour with whole wheat flour. I also thought of using a small amount of flax meal so that it will increase the fiber content of pancake. In order to make bland whole wheat flour more appealing, I also added cinnamon and nutmeg. I also add a small amount of corn meal to makes the pancake slightly crunchy.
The pancakes turned out to be really tasty; I think mascarpone brings out the lightness where as blueberry brought the tangy sweetness to them. Try them at least once sure you are going get hooked.
What you need
 |
Whole wheat flour: 1cup
Cornmeal: ⅕ cup
Mascarpone: ⅓ cup (I used homemade one)
Baking Powder: ¾ teaspoon
Baking soda: ½ teaspoon
Salt: ⅛teaspoon
Sugar: 1 tablespoon
Egg: 1 no
Buttermilk: 2 cup (½ cup of thick homemade yogurt+1 ½ cup water)
Ground cinnamon: ¼ teaspoon
Freshly grated Nutmeg: ¼ teaspoon
Flax seeds: ½ tablespoon
Olive oil: 2 tablespoon
Blueberry: ¾ cup (I used frozen one)
How I made
Preheat oven to 200F
Thaw the frozen blueberries and wash with water and dry them using a paper towel and keep aside.
In a large mixing bowl whisk the buttermilk, mascarpone and egg together until well combined.
In another bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, flax seed meal and sugar. Stir in the corn meal.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir in until every thing is combined. Don't worry if it lumpy, do not over mix.
 |
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium low heat and swirl around a one teaspoon of oil to keep the pancakes from sticking. Using a ladle pour the batter into the pan.
Cook the pancakes on 1 side until they are set and then lightly drop the blueberry into the batter.
 |
When small bubbles appear on the uncooked surface, flip the pancakes and cook until golden on both sides, about 6 minutes.
 |
Transfer pancakes to a warming plate in the oven while you make the rest.
Enjoy with or without maple syrup.
 |
Tip: If you fold the blueberries , the batter becomes blue in color, I don't want my pancake to turn blue.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Yield: 12 pan cakes
Verdict: Yummy
will you make it again: Yes
