  • • pinch of cinnamon
  • • 2 cups of milk
  • • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • • 4 tbsp. oil
  • • 2 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the berries, and slice them.
2. Preheat grill to medium-low heat, about 300°F. Preheat the grill with your Cast Iron or Stainless Steel Griddle on it as well as the Cast Iron Skillet.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a smaller bowl mix the milk, lemon juice, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat the milk mixture lightly, then add it to the flour mixture. Stir until you have mixed in all of the flour.
4. When the grill is heated, put the butter into the Cast Iron Skillet and let it melt before adding half of the sliced berries.
5. Grease the griddle and drop ¼ cup dollops of the batter spaced evenly onto it.
6. Stir the berries and add the brown sugar.
7. When the pancakes are golden brown on the bottom and little bubbles are beginning to form in the raw batter, flip the pancakes.
8. When the pancakes are done, move them to a plate and make the next batch. The berries should be bubbly and saucy. Add the hot berry mixture to the other berries, then add the mint leaves and mix well. Set aside.
9. When you are done with all of batter, serve the pancakes hot with the berry salsa, maple syrup and maybe some whipped cream.
