Cakey Buttermilk Pancakes
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter plus 2 tablespoons for cooking
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Blueberry Maple Syrup, recipe follows
- 3 cups blueberries
- 1 cup maple syrup
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients except 2 tablespoons butter until evenly combined and moistened thoroughly (some small lumps will remain).
- Set mixture aside to rest while griddle heats or cover and store in the refrigerator to rest up to 12 hours before using.
- (If batter rests, stir briefly before using.)
- Heat a large seasoned cast iron skillet, frying pan, or griddle over medium heat.
- To check that the pan's properly heated, sprinkle a few drops of water on pan or griddle and water will "dance" around before evaporating.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in pan.
- When it foams, ladle 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles cover the top, about 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook until golden brown, another 1 minute.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately topped with Blueberry Maple Syrup.
- Blueberry Maple Syrup:
- Combine 1 1/2 cups berries and syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook until berries are slightly softened, about 2 minutes, then mash using the back of a spoon.
- Simmer until mixture foams up a bit, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Remove from heat, strain to remove blueberry solids, stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups berries, and use to top pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
