Recipes from your garden.

12 pre-baked tartlet shells, about 3” diameter each
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint FRESH blueberries, cleaned and dry
Mint for garnish

Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a mixing bowl with a whisk until evenly mixed and set aside.

Combine egg yolks, vanilla extract, and buttermilk.

Incorporate egg yolk mixture into dry mixture and whisk briefly.  Place mixture into a heavy-bottomed sauce pan and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly.  Cook 3-4 minutes while whisking.

Immediately place the bottom of the saucepan into an ice bath and whisk occasionally while cooling ten minutes.

Evenly distribute the still warm pastry cream into each of the mini tart shells and cover with blueberries.  Serve promptly while cream is slightly warm.  Garnish with mint.

Once your very own Blueberry plants produce fruit, what better way to show them off than with this surprise breakfast some morning?  These are the tastiest pancakes EVER!

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup blueberries (from your OWN Blueberry bush!)

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter.  Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.  When  you can drip water on the surface and it beads up and sizzles, it’s ready.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon to blend.  Stir until it’s just blended together.  DO NOT OVERSTIR. Gently stir in the blueberries.  Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake.  Brown on both sides and serve hot. 

(Okay… so we may not all have time to make heavenly pancakes from scratch like above– but simply
adding your FRESH Blueberries to a pancake mix can still make all the difference in the world!)
