Twenty-five Jewel Boxes

 

Earlier this fall, we bought two pump bottles of hand soap that smell like blueberries and maple syrup. Now every time I wash my hands, I’m hungry for:

 

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

 

1 cup flour

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

 Vegetable oil for the pan

 

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter into the well. Whisk everything together until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat. Fold in berries. Heat a large, greased non-stick pan over medium-low heat about 5 minutes. Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into pan. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup.
