Chloe's Blueberry Pancakes

I am definitely not mad at Mayor de Blasio for declaring a Snow Day (even though there is hardly any snow on the ground).  Teachers need the opportunity to miss their students, and sometimes the weekends are not enough!  Chloe got the day off to a great start by fixing these wonderful pancakes for the family.  She gets the cooking gene from her Grandma!

Chloe's Blueberry Pancakes

(Adapted from The Disney Princess Cookbook)                                                           

Ingredients:
1 egg
3/4 cup of milk
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 Tbsp of maple syrup
1 cup of flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
Butter or oil for frying
1/2 cup of blueberries

Directions:
1. Crack the egg into a large mixing bowl.  Whisk in the milk, canola oil, and maple syrup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour baking powder, and salt.  Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture to the egg mixture and stir just until all the ingredients are wet.  The batter should be lumpy.
3. Gently stir in the blueberries.  Don't stir too much, though, or the pancakes will be dense.
4. Ask an adult (Grandma) to help you at the stove.  Lightly butter or oil a nonstick frying pan, and then warm it on the stovetop over medium heat for about one minute.  Turn the heat down to medium low.  Use a 3/4 -cup measuring cup to pour the batter for each pancake into the pan.
5.When the tops of the pancakes start to bubble, carefully flip the pancakes over with a spatula.  Continue cooking them until the undersides are golden brown.  Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Serves: 4-6
