Buttermilk Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup

Step 1

Cut the butter into small pieces and melt in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave. Remove and cool.

Step 2

Heat the griddle over medium heat.

Step 3

Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and melted butter together. Stir until you have a lumpy batter, but don't over mix.

Step 4

Carefully wipe the griddle down with vegetable oil using a paper towel. Add a very small pat of butter to the griddle and swirl to melt. Once the butter is foamy, add the pancake batter using a 1/4-cup ladle. Flip the pancakes once you see a ring of bubbles around the edges, about 3 minutes. Cook the next side for about 2 minutes more.

Step 5

Wipe the griddle clean and re-oil and butter between each batch. Repeat for the remaining batter. Serve immediately with Blueberry Syrup.

Step 6

Add the syrup and blueberries to a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Smash a few of the berries with a wooden spoon against the sides of the pan. Serve over buttermilk pancakes.
