Blueberry Pancake Fluff

Love pancakes but hate baby sitting them at the stove and the dreadful flipping that always results in one of them landing half on the pan and half off? Well problem solved. A few months ago a friend of mine sent me a picture of this fluffy pancake covered in fresh fruit and it looked absolutely delicious. This morning I finally decided to give it a shot so I looked up a few different recipes and decided to just wing it. The result was a fantastic light and fluffy pancake that was more like a blueberry muffin with a nice crispy buttery edge and a soft inside. I can't wait to make this with nice crisp apples and cinnamon, peaches or strawberries, the possibilities are endless.

Blueberry Pancake Fluff: Serves 2-4

1C Bisquick
1 Egg
1/2C Milk
1/2tsp Vanilla Extract
1C Blueberries
2tsp Sugar
2tsp Butter

Grease a pie plate and place it empty in your oven and preheat to 425°. While the pie plate is warming up we can prepare the batter.

Place the blueberries in a bowl and with a fork smash them, add the sugar and stir to incorporate, set to the side.

In a mixing bowl whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla. Once frothy add the bisquick and stir until all ingredients are evenly blended. Don't worry if there are some lumps, you don't want the batter absolutely smooth. Add the blueberries to the mix and gently stir.

Open the oven toss the butter into the pan, close the oven and let it melt for another minute or two. Once melted remove the pan from the oven, quickly pour the batter into the pan and return to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the pancake is completely cooked and golden on top.

Let it sit for a moment, slice and serve. I served mine with a tablespoon of honey that I had heated up in the microwave, a little goes a long way and as I was out of Maple Syrup it did the trick! I will most definitely be making this again, you could also make it in muffin tins for a brunch, use sausage for a savory pancake or even the favorite breakfast food - bacon!
