Emma's Favorite Pancakes

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

2 Tbsp. shortening or oil

1 tsp. almond flavoring (or vanilla flavoring)

1 cup All-Purpose Flour *

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

½ cup rinsed blueberries

 

Beat egg: add next 3 ingredients and whisk until well blended.

Add all dry ingredients to egg and milk mixture and whisk together until blended. Gently fold in blueberries.

Grease heated griddle, if necessary.

Drop pancake batter onto hot griddle. 

Turn pancakes as soon as they are puffed and full of bubbles, before bubbles break.

*  If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt and decrease baking soda to ¼ teaspoon.

Mimi's personal note:    I think the biggest secret to good pancakes is the syrup.  Always use a Grade A 100% Pure Maple Syrup.  It makes such a yummy difference!
