Nigella Express: Episode 5

Nate and I decided to take a lazy Sunday approach to Nigella this week and made a scrumptious brunch.

We made Homemade Pancake Mix with Blueberry Syrup and Chopped Fruit Salad.

The fruit salad was very good and extremely easy. It literally is exactly what you see here, fruity with yogurt topped with nuts. But the secret is that you steep the strawberries in pomegranate juice for a while before combining the rest of the ingrediants. I was suprised how much of a difference it made in the flavor.

The homemade pancake mix surprised us by making the equivalent to almost a full box of bisquick. So now we have plenty of homemade mix on hand for whenever the mood strikes us to have some delicious pancakes.

The blueberry syrup was the the hands down winner of this recipe. All you do is take a cup and a half of blueberries and combine with a cup of maple syrup and bring it to a low boil for 8-10 minutes. The result is a piping hot syrup that makes the pancakes perfect.
