What You’ll Need
For the pancakes:
- 3 tbsp butter
- 400 ml buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 250 g flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 50 g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
For the blueberry sauce:
- 200 g blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 25 ml water
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 50 g sugar
- 5 drops of bitter almond flavor
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
How to Make It
Step 1 – The batter:
Whisk together the buttermilk and eggs in a bowl. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients. Mix everything into a smooth batter and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2 – Cooking the pancakes:
Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan. When bubbles start to form on the surface, flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Step 3 – Making the sauce:
Combine blueberries, water, sugar, cornstarch, and bitter almond flavoring in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring, then simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Lightly mash the berries for a more jam-like texture.
Step 4 – Serving it right:
Stack 3–4 pancakes on a plate, drizzle with the warm blueberry sauce, and dust with powdered sugar. Dig in while it’s hot!
