Make Our Favorite Blueberry Pancakes for Breakfast This Weekend
These light but hearty pancakes from Chicago call for a bit of quinoa for an extra boost of energy
There’s something about weekends, which we propose should start with your Friday morning, that screams pancakes (or waffles if you’re on that team.) Is it mixing up the batter, seeing those playful little bubbles appear when it’s time to flip, or watching a square of butter melt down the sides of your stack? It’s hard to say.
