Whole Wheat Raspberry Pancakes
It’s raspberry season so naturally I had to make a special trip to my favorite berry farm, Bures Berry Patch. I called Cathy Bures a few days before going to the farm wanting 10 lbs. She was surprised that I wanted that much so I reduced my order to 5 lbs. so as not to appear too nutty. If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, I have a penchant for buying ridiculous amounts of berries for a two person household. See what I mean here for strawberries and here for blueberries. The best way to freeze berries is to spread them evenly on a sheet pan and freeze. After that, you can transfer them into freezer bags. That way you end up with individual berries not a huge block.
Today we are having breakfast for lunch while watching Spain VS Holland in the World Cup. I don’t really care who wins but I loooove these pancakes!
RECIPE
- 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
- 1 1/4 c. milk (Organic Valley)
- 2 eggs (from one of my students whose family has a hobby farm)
- 3 1/2 t. baking powder
- 3 T. melted butter (Shullsburg Creamery)
- 1 c. fresh raspberries macerated in 1/3 c. granulated sugar (Bures Berry Patch)
Mix everything except for the macerated berries. Fold in the berries. Cook on medium heat (1/2 c. at a time) until the edges get dry and you get a lot of bubbles on top then flip. I wasn’t very patient today. If you try to flip it too early you will find that the pancakes are stuck like glue to the bottom of the pan. I made a bit of a mess but finally got the hang of it. Voila!
Whole Wheat Raspberry Pancakes with Sweet Cream Butter, Fresh Raspberries, & Maple Syrup
Stunning!! I am thrilled to see that your website is colorful, articulate & overall, just DREAMY!! I had the pleasure of being introduced to each of you from Krista at the farmers market this weekend, and your site certainly does not disappoint. Wish I had thought of raspberry pancakes for the game. We had an odd combination of flour tortillas topped with the most lush blue cheese, delicate red onion and a few basil ribbons…broiled swiftly. Not too bad considering there is NOTHING in the fridge!! Anyway-so nice to have met you-I look forward to keeping up with the blog! Love and Peace-Dawn (the gal with the ginormous wolfhound sheepdog)
I LOVE breakfast for lunch, and especially while watching the world cup. I totally need a new pancake recipe and this looks great. I also have a berry addiction problem, and can probably make these straightaway for breakfast given the abundance of berries in my freezer:)
PS Will you be at the Kickapoo Fair? We are performing there (WADOMA).
yum! and i know the feeling of having what seems like too many berries for a small household! but when the snow is up to our knees and the wind is howling, there is nothing better than having a freezer and pantry full of summer…
I made these last night and they were amazing. Best pancakes I’ve made! Thanks for sharing!
By the way, I have a problem with buying a ton of berries, too. We always manage to eat them, though.
can’t wait to try this! it looks so yummy!!
Dawn, thanks for the compliment. Your “blue cheese pizzas” sound really yummy. Did you happen to use Blue Paradise from Hooks? See you at the market Saturday
Otehlia, we won’t be at the Kickapoo Fair. We’ll be out of town for my mom’s birthday weekend. I checked out WADOMA. It looks like a lot of fun!
Christy, well said. We have to save reminders of fair weather to get us through the harsh Wisconsin winters.
Jenny, I’m glad you tried making the pancakes and that they turned out good for you. Whew!
Geena you will love it! You don’t even need to use syrup or butter. They are delicious plain.
Hooray for berry hoarders!!!
Leslie-
The blue cheese WAS Hooks, which I hadn’t had prior to game day. What a delight! After all of the raves about Bures Berry Patch, I shall make a serious pilgrimage out there one of these weeks….keep the hits coming, kids! xo Dawn
I am obviously going to have to try these pancakes! Hopefully it works as well with blueberries, because that is what I have. I had the pleasure of meeting you at Joe and Christy’s firing on July 7 and just found your website today since you made a comment on their blog. I will be following the blog and hope to hear you sing when I visit next summer.
Thanks Dawn.
Pat, it was a pleasure to meet you as well
Thanks for following the blog and see you next summer. Wishing you all the best.
[...] so lovely with the flower cutouts. The cucumbers came from my grandmother’s garden and the raspberries were from Bures. We sipped Twinings Ceylon [...]
