BLUEBERRY PANCAKES, BACON & EGGS

Blueberry pancakes, bacon, and eggs make for a classic and delicious breakfast combination. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare this hearty and satisfying morning meal:Ingredients:

For the Blueberry Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the Bacon:

• 8 strips of bacon

For the Eggs:

• 4 large eggs
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Butter or cooking spray (for frying)

Instructions:

For the Blueberry Pancakes:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Heat a griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup portions of pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, usually around 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you prepare the bacon and eggs.

For the Bacon:

1. In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain excess grease.

For the Eggs:

1. In the same skillet used for the bacon, if desired, pour off some of the excess bacon grease, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons in the pan.
2. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook to your desired doneness (e.g., sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled).

To Serve:

Plate your blueberry pancakes, bacon, and eggs together. Drizzle maple syrup over the pancakes, if desired. Serve with butter or additional toppings like whipped cream or fresh berries.

This classic breakfast combination offers a balance of sweet, savory, and protein-rich elements, making it a favorite for many. Enjoy your blueberry pancakes, bacon, and eggs to start the day off right!
