Blueberry pancake: Monday's food quotation
I found Bisquick and frozen blueberries and some low-fat cottage cheese ... I poured a cup of the blueberries into a little bowl and covered them with water, then found a larger bowl and made a batter with the Bisquick and the cottage cheese and some nonfat milk. I sprayed the pan with butter-flavored Pam, then put it on a medium fire ... I drained the blueberries and was mixing them in the batter ... I increased the heat under the pan, then spooned in four equal amounts of batter, making sure each pancake had a like number of berries. I made the batter dry so the cakes would be thick and fluffy ... I adjusted the heat down. When they're thick like that you have to be careful with the heat, hot at first to set the cake and keep it from spreading, then low so it will cook through without burning ... When the pancakes were done we heaped them with sliced bananas and maple syrup.
