Summer’s freshest peaches and blueberries are tossed in a Boysenberry sauce and served over a batch of fluffy homemade pancakes.
Our month long series of Summer Comfort Food will be introducing a plethora of dishes from starters, main dishes and desserts. But who said breakfast can’t be comforting? In fact, one of the best comfort foods is breakfast for dinner.
To start the week we’re sharing a special seasonal dish that utilizes the season’s best fruits. Note that you can use any variety of fruits and berries you wish.
Pancakes on a weekday is not something you see everyday in my house. It’s a rare and wonderful treat.
That said, as part of our Summer Comfort series, we’re sharing dishes that are good for the soul which includes the unexpected.
These pancakes aren’t difficult to whip up either. It is a quick batter that cooks easily on a hot griddle with just a pat of butter.
These pancakes are made complete with a sweet sauce of Boysenberry jam and simmered down fruit.
Topped with a simple drizzle of syrup or honey, this summery dish is perfect any time of day!
