So I didn't know what to have for dinner tonight, and decided I absolutely did not want to spend any money. That can be tricky when you don't have food on hand, begging to be prepare. So we'll settle for pancakes, because they're delicious and cheap. And besides, what goes better with watching The Godfather than pancakes. Things lemon-blueberry pancakes and The Godfather have in common: they're both bad ass, and they are both... comforting?
Sorry, by the way, if you're a proponent for not messing around with pancakes. But we have miles to go before I stop messing around with plain pancakes.
what do we need...
2 cups pancake mix, prepared as directed on the box
Zest from one lemon
Juice from 1/2 the lemon
1 cup blueberries (more or less as desired)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs white sugar
Butter for cooking
what should we do with these cheap things...
1 Prepare the pancake mix as directed on the box. Zest the lemon into the mix and stir vigorously. Add baking powder, vanilla, lemon juice, and sugar and mix. Add blueberries last.
2 Heat enough butter to coat the pan over medium high heat. Ladle batter in small scoopfuls on to pan and cook, flipping once. I assume you know how to prepare pancakes but you never know...
