Maine Blueberry and Almond Pancakes
Serves: 4Steps:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup almond paste
2 large eggs, separated
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries (preferably wild Maine blueberries)

sliced almonds, toasted
- Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) in a bowl. In a mixer, beat together the almond paste and egg yolks. Add milk and mix. Stir in the dry ingredients. Add melted butter and extracts and mix. Fold in the blueberries.
Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites into the batter gently, just until combined.
Pour batter, 1/4 cup per pancake, onto a hot griddle. Cook until browned on the first side, flip and continue to cook the other side.
Place the pancakes on a serving plate and garnish by sprinkling with powdered sugar and toasted almonds. Serve with Chicken sausage patties (recipe below) and pure Maine maple syrup.
