Time 55m

Yield 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Kosher salt
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons butter, divided into 4 equal pats
1 regular-size candy bar or equivalent (Butterfinger or Snickers preferred), crushed or chopped
Scary Blueberry Syrup, recipe follows
2 pints blueberries, picked through and SCARY ones sent to the grave
1/2 cup sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup maple syrup
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk the milk, oil and egg together.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix gently until combined with a wooden spoon. Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Make the pancakes: On a griddle or in a large pan, add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt on low heat. Then raise the heat to medium-high. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out the pancake batter and pour onto the prepared griddle/pan. Allow to set a bit on the bottom, and then sprinkle crushed candy bar bits over the top. When bubbles begin to appear around the edge and center, flip the pancake and cook until a peek underneath reveals a golden bottom. Repeat in batches using more butter, if needed, until all done. (Keep the pancakes warm in a 100 degree oven on a baking sheet.) Serve with Scary Blueberry Syrup.
  • Make the scary blueberry syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries, 1 cup water, sugar, lemon zest and juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break up blueberries as they cook. Once reduced and thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Taste and add just a pinch of salt to season. Serve warm.

These pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

The blueberry syrup was the perfect complement to the pancakes. It was sweet and tangy, and it really brought out the flavor of the candy bar pieces.

The blueberry syrup was too runny for my liking. I'll try adding some cornstarch next time to thicken it up.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a fan of blueberries, so I used strawberries in the syrup instead. It was just as delicious!
