Blueberry Lemon Pancakes with Lemon Curd will brighten any day! Fresh lemon juice in the pancakes create a burst of flavour that compliments the blueberries
In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the egg, buttermilk, butter and lemon juice. Stir until just combined; the batter may be lumpy.
Heat a griddle pan or a cast iron skillet over medium heat and grease with oil or butter.
Using 1/4 cup measuring cup, fill it half way and pour the butter onto the pan in a circle. Add a few blueberries on top. Wait until some bubbles start to form and then flip the pancakes over. Cook for about 3 more minutes until batter is cooked through. Serve pancakes hot.
Lemon Curd
Heat the lemon juice in a small non-reactive pan on medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl, then gradually whisk in the sugar. Whisking constantly, slowly pour the hot lemon juice into the egg/sugar mixture, then return the mixture to the saucepan and continue to heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 170 F and is thick enough to cling to the spoon, about 3 minutes. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and add in the cold butter and mix until incorporated. Stir in the cream, vanilla and salt, then pour through a strainer into a small nonreactive bowl. Cover the surface of the curd directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
Put it Together
Top the pancakes with any amount of lemon curd you desire.
Enjoy!
