The best blueberry pancake recipe I've ever tried. Sometimes I make crisp cornmeal pancakes with this same recipe by replacing half of the flour with stone-ground yellow cornmeal and that's very good too (1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. each AP flour and cornmeal).
Blueberry Griddle Cakes
Wild blueberries reach their peak of abundance and flavor in the late summer; use them to turn ordinary griddle cakes into something scrumptious.

SERVES 2
INGREDIENTS
1 1⁄4 cups sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup blueberries
1 tsp. vegetable oil
Butter and maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Beat the egg with the milk.
2. Pour the egg–milk mixture into the flour mixture and beat well. Gently fold in 1⁄2 cup of the blueberries.
3. Using a paper towel, grease a large, heavy griddle or skillet with a thin film of vegetable oil, then heat over medium heat until very hot.
4. Use about 1⁄4 cup of batter to form each griddle cake. Cook in the hot pan until bubbles form on the surface and edges are dry. Turn and cook until the other side is golden brown.
5. Serve with butter, maple syrup and remaining 1⁄2 cup blueberries.
