Blackberry Pancakes

I’m pretty sure I eat my weight in berries every summer.  I just can’t resist.  Last week, blackberries were 77 cents a cartons and I went wild.  I bought eight eight cartons.  I probably should’ve held back a little, but I was just so excited.  I couldn’t help it.

As soon as I got home with those gorgeous, plump berries, I started searching for recipes.  I hit the Internet and my cookbooks.  I asked the ladies on the cooking board I frequent, as well, and many of the ladies there suggested blackberry muffins or pancakes.  Blackberry pancakes.  YES!

I started with my favorite buttermilk pancake recipe from Joy of Cooking.  By making just a few simple substitutions, I had a delicious recipe for a terrific summer weekend breakfast.

    These are so good. One of the best pancakes I accept anytime eaten. It came from an estate auction and with my adulation of blackerries approved this one appropriate away.Celular Blackberry
