Blackberry Pecan Pancakes

     If you are looking for some rich, delicious pancakes, this recipe is for you.  They are so good that you won't miss the syrup...  I promise!

Pancake batter:
2 cups all purpose flour
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 stick melted butter

Mix dry ingredients into a bowl.  Add wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Add more milk if batter is too thick. It helps to let the batter sit for 15-30 minutes before using. Melt butter on griddle and pour pancake batter to form 4 inch pancakes.  Cook on each side about 3 minutes.

If you really want to be sneaky about adding more fruit to your childs diet (or yours), try adding 1-2 cups shredded apple into the batter...they'll  never know!!!

Blackberry topping:
2 cups blackberries
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup sugar
dash cinnamon
1/2 cup water

Add water to berries and heat until warm.  In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar and cinnamon.  Add to berry mixture.  Cook and stir until mixture is thickened.  Add lemon juice and mix.  Serve warm.

***You could substitute blueberries, just decrease the sugar to 1/2 cup.  Blackberries need more sugar because they are not as sweet.  I use the whole blackberry for more fiber.

Once the pancakes are cooked,  I serve them with melted butter spread on top and pour on the blackberry sauce.  Oh my goodness, you won't be able to eat just one.....
