Pancakes are probably the most popular dish worldwide. They are prepared — in various ways — in so many countries that counting them is a daunting task. Finnish gingerbread pannukakku, Ethiopian injera flatbreads (made from so-called teff flour), or Brazilian tapioca pancakes are just the beginning of this long culinary journey. Today, we are visiting pancake houses in the United States and encourage you to try their local blueberry pancake recipe.

What distinguishes American pancakes from all the types of pancakes around the world? Of course, it is their fluffiness, thanks to the buttermilk used in the recipe. Americans often stack pancakes on top of each other, then pour various — not necessarily healthy — sauces over them. Today, we want to take only the best from this dish, so we will do without peanut butter, chocolate, or artificial sweet syrups. Instead, we will use blueberries and top them with maple syrup. Good luck!
