It was HUGE!

Last year, around this time...my son Jordan (FSU) was diving at the ACC in Chapel Hill, NC.  My husband attended both NC State and UNC (though he is, without a doubt, loyal to the Wolfpack)...so he took off work and came with me.  This gave Don, not only a chance to show his support and cheer poolside with me, but to drag me around his old college stomping ground...again :-)  Awww...the good old days!

First stop...breakfast at "Ye Ole Waffle Shoppe".  It was crazy how many people were in this old diner that had been there since "back in the day"...still owned by the same family.  Hmmmm...what to order???
I decided on the Blueberry Pancakes....and it was as big as my plate!  Soooo good...warm syrup...butter :-)
Are you hungry yet?  I wasn't anymore...it was huge and one was enough. 

The next morning...we went back again...and I got another one!  Jordan finished up the competition in the top 10 and went back to school in Tallahassee.  We went back to Charlotte (with visions of pancakes in my head). 

Since then, I've tried to duplicate them...but they are never as good as they were on that trip.... :-)

Huge Blueberry Pancakes

2 cups of Bisquick
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Fresh blueberries

Mix up batter.  Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a medium size pan.  You want it hot...like you are going to fry it...but not burn it. Quickly put in about 3/4 cup of batter and place your blueberries one at a time all over your pancake.  It will be time to turn by then...and that's the hard part!!!  Flip it over fast and it should be light brown and a little crispy...more like a "griddle cake".  Put butter on your cooked side while still in the pan and once it's done in the middle...take it out and pour on warm syrup. 

It was a great trip!  I always enjoy watching my children do things ... and I always enjoy pancakes! :-)

  1. I love me a good pancake too! Of course our favorite add in is none other than the famous chocolate chip. We can't get bisquick over here but we can get Krustez. Have you tried it? VERY good, I mix it with milk instead of water and add a little vanilla. Delicious! The bisquick recipe with lemon juice is great too! Of course I know not to mess with anything Angie cooks!!! I love your cooking!!!!!
