Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumFlattop Mountain blueberries!
Spent the afternoon on the mountain picking berries yesterday. These bushes are SO LOW that you practically have to crawl along to get them. But the recent rains made them super huge! Huge berry on a tiny plant. I got somewhere near a pound before my back said no more.
This morning while eating some in my cereal I am pouring over recipes. I want to use them in cooking more than baking. I will make pancakes Saturday morning but will try to use them differently than I usually do when I get wild berries.
Any recipes or ideas would be appreciated.
I will IQF most of them so I can use as I find recipes.

(3,569 posts)I use about 3/4 cup berries in a mix using 1 cup of flour. Big berries I use more
so all pancakes will get some.
Base recipe: Mix, 1 cup flour, 1 Tbs sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1Tbs baking powder
Mix 1 Tbs melted butter and one egg add 1 cup buttermilk.
Dump liquid into the dry and combine. When you have the desired thickness
of batter, by adjusting with flour or buttermilk stir in the berries.
Cook in a large pan, flipping once.
