Blueberry Pancakes with Peach Syrup

It's still summer time and I found some blueberry bushes in our back yard so we have plenty of blueberries. They are sweet and juicy. So I made blueberry pancakes. To go with them I made a peach syrup. I can only eat cooked peaches as I have an oral allergy to certain fruits, but that is another story. 

The pancakes are my dad's recipe which I think was also my grandpa's recipe I just added the blueberries to them.

Pancakes

2 cups flour

1 Tablespoon Baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons sugar

2 Tablespoon cooking oil

2 cups milk or buttermilk

2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon Juice

6 eggs, separated

blueberries

Mix together dry ingredients. Add the egg yolks right to dry mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff, set aside. Add the oil, milk, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly. Fold in egg whites. Place about 1/4 cup of pancake batter on a hot griddle. Add the blueberries. Cook till ready to flip and finish cooking on the other side.

Enjoy.

Peach Syrup

7 peaches, peeled, pit removed and chopped

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 cup sugar

Place the peaches in a sauce pan. Add the water, cornstarch, and sugar. Stir till combined. Cook on medium heat till bubbly about 5-8 mintues. Use a potato masher and mash the peaches. Cook a little longer.

Either eat warm or let cool and enjoy.

Happy Baking!

Fresh Strawberry Pie

I love strawberry pie, but Fresh Strawberry pie is even better. 

This is the filling for the pie. It is chopped strawberries, sugar, corn starch, stawberry jello and a little red food coloring.

 The crust was a premade crust. After I made the filling I tossed the strawberries in with the filling and put it in the crust.

 Let it chill for a couple of hours and added the whipped cream around the edges.

 And there you have it a piece of Fresh Strawberry pie. It was very yummy and refreshing.

Recipe

1 refrigerated pie crust (baked) or you could make your own.

Filling

6 cups of strawberries

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 cup water 

1 box strawberry jell-o  (3 oz box)

red food coloring if you want it

In a small bowl crush enough berries to make 1 cup. Place the berries in a sauce pan and add the sugar, cornstarch, water, and jell-o. Cook until mixture is bubbly and thickens, stirring constantly. Add food coloring if you want. Let cool until completely cool.

Either cut or leave the remaing strawberries whole and mix with the cooled filling. Place in the precooked crust and place in the refrigerated till set. Add whipped cream and enjoy.

Happy Baking!
