First off, this has been a long time coming and oh, how I missed you all. With my schedule for the month of July, I barely have enough time to do anything- including eating. Cooking, writing, and visiting my favorite blogs (there are many) have had to take a back seat these past weeks.

Why is this post about Blueberry Buttermilk Waffles and a lost Salmon?  Well, this post was to be about Salmon Croquettes and my mom’s luscious Caper Sauce that goes with it. My post was all written, taking me a few days to squeeze a paragraph here and there. Time to upload the photos that I had saved on my computer last week showing you how wonderful the Salmon Croquettes truely were left me empty handed.

Don’t ask me how, but I lost the Salmon. Going through all my files three times on three different occasions only delivered one photo of the Croquettes. Only I would be able to detect the one image as it is basically a big blur with the words Salmon below the photo as the only clue to it’s identity.

So instead we are having Blueberry Buttermilk Waffles with Blueberry Syrup. Not that this is shabby, it just isn’t according to plan.

A make shift recipe adaption yielded light waffles which were topped with a Blueberry Syrup that I whipped up while the waffles cooked. Topped with a little butter, maple syrup and fresh blueberries this was a perfect Sunday breakfast.

So without further ado, here is the recipe for the Blueberry Buttermilk Waffles and Blueberry Syrup.

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 to 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons homemade baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

• Melt butter and set aside
• Mix dry ingredients together in a medium bowl, set aside.
• Mix wet ingredients together, then add butter and dry ingredients mix till blended.
• Bake in a waffle iron according to directions.
• Serve warm, can freeze leftovers and reheat or pop in the toaster.

Blueberry Syrup

1 container fresh blueberries

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

• Heat above ingredients in a small sauce-pan till bubbly and boiling, cook till it thickens and becomes a little syrupy.
• Serve warm over waffles.

Fear not, I am still on my quest to find the lost Salmon. If I still end up empty handed, I will coax my daughter Devon to ship me more fresh Salmon from Alaska. Yes, this wasn’t going to be an ordinary store bought Salmon. No, my croquettes came from fresh Salmon, bonked by my daughter and gutted by her husband who caught the fish in the first place.

Oh, I have a little treat or two in store for you sometime this week, so do stop by for the surprise!
