Poppy Seed Pancakes with Blueberry Topping


This morning I woke up and decided I wanted some pancakes. But not just normal pancakes.. I wanted fancy pancakes. I have been sick so I wanted something extra flavory ☺. These pancakes turned out amazing and really didn't take that much longer to make than a regular pancake.

Now.. lets get to the good stuff!!! ☺

My son LOVE LOVE LOVES to help me cook.. he is such a cutie! ♥

Ingredients for pancake:
  • 4 cups of all purpose flour
  • 8 tsp baking powder (or about 2.6 Tbsp)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • 2 ¼ tsp almond extract
  • 3 ½ tsp poppy seeds
Ingredients for blueberry sauce:
  • 4 cups of blueberries 
  • 1 cup sugar
Instructions:
  1. Before you start mixing up your pancake mix.. put your blueberries and sugar in a sauce pan and cook on med heat until it gets really bubbly. Then turn it down to about med-low to low heat and let it simmer while you are making your pancakes. I would say let it cook for about 15 minutes before you take it off the heat.
  2. Now, mix all your ingredients together for your pancake until well incorporated.
  3. I cooked mine on a pan at med to med-low heat for about 1.5 minutes or less on each side. You want to see a few bubbles on the surface before you flip your pancake. These puff up to be pretty thick so a good way to check and make sure if its cooked through to the middle is to place your spatula flat on the surface and kinda wiggle it back and forth. If it feels like the inside is still a little jiggly then it needs a little longer.
  4. Once your pancakes are all done and your blueberry sauce is done.. plate it up! I put some butter on my pancakes before I put the blueberries on. It made it super extra epic ☺
ENJOY! Thanks for reading!
