Recipe Instructions

To prepare the pancakes, in a medium bowl, combine the flours, the sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the buttermilk and egg substitute; stir until just blended. Stir in the blueberries and cashews.

Spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray; heat. Spoon the batter, 1/4 cup at a time, into the skillet, making 4 pancakes. Cook about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the pancakes and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, making 16 pancakes.

Meanwhile, to prepare the topping, in a small saucepan, blend the cornstarch with 2 1/2 tablespoons water. Stir in the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice; cook until the mixture boils and thickens, about 3 minutes.

Arrange 4 pancakes on each of 4 warm plates. Top each portion with 2 tablespoons of the warm sauce.
