Ingredients
- 16 buttermilk pancakes (see Buttermilk Pancakes recipe), cooled
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) blueberries
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) maple syrup
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cream
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.75 milliliters) nutmeg
- Butter, for cooking
Candied pecans:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) water
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) brown sugar
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) pecan halves
Blueberry sauce:
- 2 cups (470 milliliters) blueberries, divided
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) water
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) sugar
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1-1/2 tablespoons (22 milliliters) cornstarch
- 1-1/2 tablespoons (22 milliliters) cool water
- Crème fraiche, to serve
- Lemon zest, to garnish
Directions
- Fold the pancakes in half. Stand them upright on their folded side in a greased baking or casserole dish. Sprinkle blueberries on top.
- Mix the eggs with the maple syrup, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the mixture over top of the folded pancakes. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
- To make the candied pecans, melt water and brown sugar in a skillet and let bubble. Add pecans and stir to coat. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool.
- Without removing the foil, bake the pancake casserole in a 350 F (175 C) oven for 50 minutes. Remove and let cool ten minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the blueberry sauce, add half the blueberries to a saucepan with water, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved and blueberries have started to break down.
- Mix together the cornstarch and cool water to create a slurry. Pour it into the saucepan and continue stirring until mixture has thickened. Add lemon zest and second half of blueberries and stir in. Remove from heat. Cool completely.
- To finish, cut slices from the pancake casserole and plate. Pour blueberry sauce over top. Top with candied pecans and dollops of crème fraiche. Top with lemon zest.
