Get ready for a burst of flavor with these Blueberry-Orange Pancakes! This recipe is a delightful twist on the classic pancake, perfect for a weekend brunch or a special morning treat. With a gluten-free option, it's an inclusive choice for various dietary preferences. The star of the show is the combination of blueberries and orange, creating a refreshing and vibrant taste sensation.
The process begins with a simple yet flavorful sauce, where sugar, cornstarch, and orange juice come together to create a smooth base. The addition of orange peel and blueberries transforms it into a tangy, fruity delight. The pancakes themselves are a breeze to make, with a mix of milk, eggs, and a hint of nutmeg, ensuring a fluffy and aromatic stack. The fresh or frozen blueberries folded into the batter create delightful bursts of sweetness with every bite.

The recipe provides a clever tip to test the griddle's temperature, ensuring your pancakes cook evenly. The result is a stack of golden, fluffy pancakes, each bite delivering a burst of blueberry and a hint of orange. With a caloric distribution favoring carbs for energy, these pancakes are a delightful way to start your day or enjoy a leisurely brunch.

Directions

  1. In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Stir in orange juice and 1/4 teaspoon orange peel until smooth. Stir in 2 cups blueberries.
  2. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Keep warm.
  3. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375°F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.)
