Every couple of weeks I make a batch of blueberry pancakes, enough for
four breakfasts and I alternate with eggs.-a Ran into a problem though.
Last couple of weeks, berries are from California and they are huge.-a If you want to sit and eat a berry snack, great.-a OTOH, if you want to make pancakes, they are about double the thickness of a pancake so would not
work as well.
Why not use frozen?-a They are a decent consistent size.-a That seems the only benefit. I mixed them in the batter and they started to thaw and
left blue streaks.-a Not very pretty.-a Once cooked, they did not have the same mouth feel of a fresh berry.
Nope, won't do that again.

The next time you want to use frozen blueberries reserve some of the dry
mix and dredge the berries in that and then add to the rest of the mix.

I still have berries left so may try that.

You have to cook them soon after because they will still bleed blue
after a while, just not as fast or as much.
FWIW, my wife loves blueberries and prefers the small frozen wild >blueberries. She won't buy the large frozen or even fresh cultivated.
As much as I like berries I tend to end blueberries only in small
amounts. A couple pancakes with berries are enough for me. I sometimes
have them with yogurt, but only about a tablespoon at a time. A little >blueberry goes a long way. I know that a lot of people like blueberry
pie but I find it to be berry overkill.

Why not use frozen? They are a decent consistent size. That seems the

we freeze some every year for making blueberry muffins
and they turn out ok, but those muffins cook longer than
a pancake.
songbirdI freeze about 30lbs every year and have a handful (thawed)

Before RFC I'd never even heard of blueberry pancakes.

I don't know what experience you have had with blueberries. My personal >taste is such that a small amount of berries is better than too much. I
have seen blueberry donuts that were loaded with them and that IMO is
too much. I prefer to have maybe 4-6 berries per pancake.

Blueberry pancakes have been a 'thing' here since Columbus landed.

Jenni made jumbo blueberry muffins with cinnamon crumb topping last
week, and they came out fabulous! I don't think I'd want to just eat
raw blueberries, but blueberry pancakes sound good too. Our grocer >regularly puts the blueberries on sale buy one get one free. Ed could >probably just slice the larger blueberries in half.
