Wicked Good Pancakes in Bangor Maine

There's something truly special about starting your day with a stack of wild Maine blueberry pancakes.

 

These pancakes, bursting with the sweet and tangy flavor of Maine's iconic wild blueberries, are a beloved breakfast staple in Bangor and beyond.

 

To craft your own batch of these wicked good pancakes, begin by sifting together 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, 3½ teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of white sugar in a large bowl.

 

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1¼ cups of milk, 1 egg, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth.

 

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter comes together.

 

Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat.

 

Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

 

Before the batter sets, sprinkle a generous handful of fresh or frozen wild Maine blueberries onto each pancake.

 

Once bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown.

 

Serve hot with a pat of butter and a drizzle of pure Maine maple syrup.

 

For those seeking to experience the local flavor firsthand, Bangor offers several eateries renowned for their wild Maine blueberry pancakes.

 

Additionally, the annual Wild Blueberry Weekend, typically held in early August, celebrates this cherished fruit with farm tours, tastings, and community events.

 

Whether you're a local or just passing through, indulging in these pancakes is a delightful way to savor a taste of Maine's culinary heritage.
