Sour Cream Blueberry-Lemon Pancakes


A Fantastic Breakfast treat


Serves 5

Points per serving 3


1 cup minus 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

1 Teaspoon baking powder

1/4 Teaspoon salt

1 Cup Skim milk

1/4 Cup nonfat sour cream

1/4 Cup plus 1 Tablespoon Egg substitute

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 Tablespoon plus 2 Teaspoons margarine, melted

1/2 Cup Blueberries

Finely chopped zest of 1 lemon

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, mix well.


In medium bowl, beat together milk, sour cream, egg substitute and vanilla.


Pour milk mixture over dry ingredients, and with a sturdy spoon mix until batter is just smooth; stir in margarine. Gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest.


Spray nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set over medium heat; when hot, ladle a scant 1/2 cup of the batter into the pan to make a 6" pancake.


When the top of the pancake is full of holes, flip the pancake and cook very briefly on the second side, just long enough to brown the second side. Slip onto a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
