Berti’s fresh blueberry pancakes

Berti’s fresh blueberry pancakes

Hello and greetings, your little mouse Berti is back again! On my last trip through summery Austria, I came across some fresh blueberries. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to eat, cook and bake. So this time I took the opportunity to pick up a basket full of blueberries. They turned into a wonderful, sweet summer dish – blueberry tarts! Blueberries taste wonderfully sweet and fresh, especially in summer when they are available everywhere. Here is the recipe for you:

Ingredients

• 400g blueberries
• 150g spelt flour
• 4 eggs (separate)
• 150 ml milk (you can also use soy milk)
• 3 tablespoons birch sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 shot of mineral water
• (a shot of rum)
• Butter for frying
• Powdered sugar

Preparation

First separate the eggs. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until firm. In the meantime, chill the beaten egg whites in the fridge. Then beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar into a creamy mixture. Next, add the liquids, i.e. milk and a dash of mineral water. Finally, the spelt flour is added to create a thick batter. You may need to add a little more milk or flour to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Finally, fold in the beaten egg whites and blueberries. If you like, you can also add a small dash of rum for flavor. Now heat the butter in a pan. To finish the blueberry patties, ladle the batter into the pan and fry the patties. Because I, Berti, am such a sweet tooth, I sprinkled some powdered sugar over my fresh blueberry patties and added a dollop of vanilla ice cream. I can tell you: it was really good!

I hope you enjoy baking the blueberry patties and wish you a wonderful summer’s day!

See you soon, Berti from the Salzburg grain mills
