We have a couple "U-Pick" orchards offering blueberries 'in season'. I'll
buy some 'they picked' berries when I need some. At 82 and on oxygen I'm
just not up for pretending to be a farmer.  Bv)=

Last blueberries I picked with off the plant were on the banks of Puget
Sound at ther Hap Newsome hosted picnic in Tacoma.

Unusual ingresients but it looks tasty. And qualifies as "fusion" cuisione.

     Title: Blueberry-Orange Pancakes
Categories: Breads, Dairy, Citrus, Fruits
     Yield: 9 Pancakes

     1 c  Almond milk greek yogurt *
     2 lg Eggs; whisked
          Zest of 2 oranges
     3 tb Orange juice
     2 tb Maple syrup or sorghum
     1 ts Vanilla extract
     1 c  Tapioca flour
     1 c  Almond flour
     1 ts Baking powder
       pn Salt
     1 c  Blueberries; more as garnish

 Whisk together yogurt, eggs, zest, orange juice, syrup,
 and vanilla extract in a large bowl.

 Mix in tapioca flour, almond flour, baking powder and
 salt. Fold in blueberries.

 Place pan over medium heat, grease pan, then use an ice
 cream scoop to scoop the batter onto pan. Cook on each
 side for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to show in the
 batter, then flip.

 Top pancakes with blueberries and syrup.

 * I have used standard Chobani Greek Yoghurt if making
 from "scratch" as well as self-rising flour in place
 of the non-wheat flour(s). I've never made these with
 maple syrup since I don't care for that old tradition.
