• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, thawed
• 1 cup maple syrup or 1 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup fresh blueberries or 1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed

Recipe

• 1 filling between pancakes: in a medium bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds.
• 2 beat in whipped topping just until smooth.
• 3 cover and chill until serving time.
• 4 syrup: combine syrup and berries in a small saucepan; heat just to boiling.
• 5 remove from heat.
• 6 pancakes: in a large mixing bowl stir together flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• 7 set aside.
• 8 in another bowl combine eggs, buttermilk, and melted margarine or butter.
• 9 add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
• 10 stir in the 1 cup of blueberries.
• 11 for each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet.
• 12 cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side or until pancakes are golden brown, turning when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry.
• 13 for each serving, stack 3 or 4 pancakes, spreading a little cream cheese mixture between pancakes.
• 14 top with blueberry syrup.
• 15 store remaining cream cheese mixture in refrigerator for up to 7 days.
• 16 you also may serve the blueberry syrup in a separate container and let the guest decide if they want it or regular syrup because it is very rich with the blueberry syrup.
• 17 this mix is also very good for regular pancakes by just leaving out the blueberries and not using the filling between the pancakes.
