Based on how busy this month has been for me, these Vanilla Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce were the perfect remedy for my stress. It’s almost coming up to exam time, and everything is about going non stop! I’m glad I actually had some time to stop and make these pancakes. They’re the sort of thing you won’t regret making, towers of fluffy pancakes with blueberry sauce cascading down. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? I’ll admit it. I’m a pancake fiend. I’ve had pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What can I say? It’s what I do. But there’s something about these pancakes in particular that got to me. They’re the kind of pancakes you could eat without a topping, with the vanilla creating the right amount sweetness. I’m a fluffy pancake kind of girl, and after toying with this recipe from Joy the Baker, I reduced the amount of buttermilk because I realised it makes the pancakes fluffier. Plus I started using these pancake circles I bought ages ago that came in handy. Trust me, if you’re a pancake regular like me they take the stress out of making perfect circles. Just remember to spray them with cooking spray first!
The second reason I’m posting these pancakes is because I’ve been told I don’t post anything simple enough. Which is understandable; who is really going to get up and make Bird’s Nest Cupcakes casually? Sometimes it is a good idea to just step back and take in the simple joys of life. These pancakes are definitely of mine. Whilst the blueberry sauce is completely optional, I go head over heels for it. It’s a great balance of sweet and fresh and blueberries are one of my favourite fruits. But, it’s okay to just do syrup. Don’t tell the blueberry sauce, but sometimes I simply do.
