Blueberry Pancakes are the BEST!

 Been a while since I did a cooking type post, am I right?!

I'm loving the sourdough discard recipe idea and these blueberry pancakes have turned out to be a firm favorite of mine/ours. What are Sunday mornings for, after all?

They are a fluffy but thicker variety and my recipe is your recipe now too: 

1/2 c sour dough discard (unfed starter)

1 egg - even better if gifted by your very own backyard chicken!

1 T sugar

1 cup of milk

1 cup of flour 

1 t baking powder

1/2 t baking soda

Preheat the pan on medium. (I don't add oil or butter with a good non-stick pan)

Mix the discard, egg, milk and sugar in a bowl.

Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder.

Stir until it's only just incorporated and don't worry about all those little lumps you see!

Add a half cup of mix to the pan.  Dot on the blueberries.

Flip when bubbly and a bit golden on the bottom.

Smear with lemon curd (homemade is best... want the recipe? See below) Dollop with yoghurt and garnish with blueberry compote you just removed from the stove.

Share with your bestie, over coffee... then go forth to conquer the day!

**ZESTY LEMON CURD - And I'm in no way exaggerating when I say this is so far better than anything you'll by at the store so make the effort for goodness sake... you won't regret it.

3 egg yolks

1/2 c sugar

Zest of one lemon (about a tablespoon)

1/3 c lemon juice squeezed from the zested lemon!

4 T butter

Add the eggs, sugar, zest and lemon juice to a small saucepan and whisk well. 

Cook over med-low heat, stirring constantly so you dont curdle the yolks. 

When the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the wooden spoon, it's pretty much done.

Stir in the butter.

Let it cool a bit then add to a jar that seals well. Keep refrigerated.

Note:  A little of this goes a long way. It is sweet and sour... mouthwateringly lovely and pairs perfectly with blueberries.
