Whip up a Batch of Blueberry Basil Lemon Pancakes for a Fresh Twist

Today’s Culinary Creation: Blueberry Basil Lemon Pancakes

I woke up this morning feeling inspired to create a unique twist on a classic breakfast dish. The combination of fresh blueberries, fragrant basil, and zesty lemon in fluffy pancakes seemed like the perfect way to start the day. With a bit of experimentation in the kitchen, I was able to come up with a recipe that I am excited to share with you all today.

Ingredients:

• 150g all-purpose flour
• 10g baking powder
• 30g sugar
• 2g salt
• 250ml milk
• 1 egg
• 30g melted butter
• 100g fresh blueberries
• 10g fresh basil leaves, chopped
• Zest of 1 lemon

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• frying pan
• spatula

To begin, I combined the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, I whisked together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined. I then poured the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stirred until just combined. Next, I gently folded in the fresh blueberries, chopped basil, and lemon zest.

I heated a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly greased it with butter. Using a ladle, I poured a scoop of the pancake batter onto the pan and cooked until bubbles formed on the surface. Flipping the pancake, I cooked for another minute or until golden brown.

Once all the pancakes were cooked, I stacked them on a plate and garnished with extra blueberries, basil leaves, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for an extra layer of flavor. It enhances the sweetness of the blueberries and complements the freshness of the basil and lemon.

I encourage you to give these Blueberry Basil Lemon Pancakes a try and get creative with your toppings and flavor additions. Enjoy this delicious and unique breakfast treat!
