Chef's tips
Gently mix in the huckleberries at the end so they do not bleed color. Keep the griddle at medium heat so the centers cook through before the outsides burn.
Storage
Refrigerate cooked pancakes up to 2 days.
Reheating
Reheat in a toaster or on a griddle over low heat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- โขMixing the batter too much, which makes the pancakes dense and tough.
- โขUsing frozen berries without draining them first, which makes the batter purple and watery.
