Preparation

Step 1

Prepare syrup: In a saucepan, combine 3 cups blueberries, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and corn­starch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring. When mixture boils, reduce heat and cook for 4 minutes or until berries start to burst. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups berries. If too thick, add a little water.

In a mixing bowl, beat egg with yogurt and oil. Add flour, baking powder, 1 Tbsp sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. If batter is too thick, thin with water.


Pour batter onto a hot, lightly greased electric griddle, making each pancake about 4 inches in diameter. Cook until small bubbles form on surface. Sprinkle berries onto each pancake. Flip and cook on other side until done. Drizzle with syrup.
