Serves 4
1 -1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons oil
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup milk
3 cups fresh berries in any combination desired (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients, except the fruit. Combine wet and dry ingredients to make the pancake batter. Reserve 2 cups of the berries and add the remaining 1 cup to the batter. Mix gently, being careful not to break up the fruit. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto a hot, oiled griddle. Turn the pancakes when the edges are dry and bubbles appear. Arrange 3 pancakes on a plate, for each person. Top with a scoop of Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Ice Cream, 1/2 cup of reserved berries, and warmed Vermont Maple Syrup. Add a sprig of fresh mint to garnish.
