GLUTEN FREE BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES (Oladushki)

Hi guys! Hello everyone! Welcome to my channel Alla's Yummy Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make gluten-free oladushki with blueberries. They are so amazing. We're going to be making gluten-free oladushki from scratch and I'm going to show you how to make a blueberry jam, which only contains two ingredients. Really delicious, very simple recipe and such a perfect brunch or breakfast idea for your family. So I hope you enjoy this video. Let's get started! First thing we're going to do is make our homemade blueberry jam. It's really easy. All you want to do, you want to add your frozen blueberries. You can also use fresh. I'm using frozen wild blueberries together with sugar. And mix everything together on the stove and cook this for 5 minutes or so. Once the mixture starts to bubble up, you want to add a little bit of cornstarch. And just mix everything together until the mixture thickens a little bit. It's not going to be completely thick unless you want it to. I do like to keep it a bit still you know liquid so that you can pour that blueberry sauce all over your oladushki and once your jam is done you want to just set it aside and leave it to cool down completely to make oladushki we're going to add egg sugar vanilla extract a little bit of salt and mix everything together in a bowl you don't have to mix this for long just enough to mix all ingredients together. You then want to add your kefir or buttermilk a little bit at a time so keep adding it in little stages mixing it through making sure it's all incorporated and then adding the rest of your buttermilk until your mixture is completely mixed through. Once you're done that you want to add your gluten-free flour and I like to add two tablespoons at a time to make sure there are no lumps. Keep mixing through and another tip I want to give you is that it's really important to have all your ingredients at room temperature. Your eggs and your buttermilk should be at room temperature. Keep adding flour until you finish up with your gluten-free flour and I'm using self-raising gluten-free flour so make sure you use that and then keep mixing until you have no lumps. Now you want to add your bicarbonated soda and mix everything together one more time. The mixture will start to bubble up and that is completely normal. You then want to add your frozen blueberries. You can also use fresh. Because I'm using frozen, I'm not going to mix this for too long, just enough to make sure they're mixed through. And I still want to have the color of my oladushki nice and golden with few blueberry tips in there. So the less you mix the more color you're gonna have so this is very important. Next I'm gonna add a little bit of oil into the pan and what you want to do you want to make sure the pan is nice and hot before adding any buttermilk pancakes inside because we really want to create a beautiful crust on top. Now another tip I want to give you is to make sure you oil your spoon so put that into your oil or pour oil over your spoon and then take the mixture from the side this way you're not going to disturb the bubbles and the pancakes will be nice and fluffy you want to add one tablespoon at a time as they do expand and they grow a bit bigger and try and space them out otherwise they will glue together but that even if that happens don't worry about it that's completely normal so add them inside on a high heat and then you want to lower your heat straight away you want to cook them for some time uh i would say a couple of minutes until you start to see it's gotten brown around the edges and the main tip i want to give you um when they're ready is when they have a lot of bubbles on top when they have a lot of bubbles that means they're ready to be flipped so you want flip the pancakes onto the other side and cook them for a couple of more minutes. They will cook a lot faster on the other side because they're practically cooked. Once they're ready you can drain them on a paper towel if you want to get rid of any excess oil or you can serve them straight away. I absolutely love buttermilk pancakes a Ladushki with you know they're just so amazing. i do recommend serving them fresh when they've just been made and here i'm going to top them up with my homemade blueberry jam sour cream and a few cookie crumbles you can also add some nuts i'm just going to show you how it looks inside guys they're so amazing they're crunchy on the outside so soft and fluffy inside you have blueberries in each bite you have blueberry jam with sour cream the combination is unbelievable i absolutely love them so much i think it's such an easy dish and everyone should be making these for brunch or breakfast especially now i really hope you enjoyed this video thank you so much
