Blueberry Pancakes with Warm Blueberry Compote

Every once in a while Tom and I like to have pancakes for dinner. I recently tried this recipe from cookbook: Relaxed Cooking with Curtis Stone. It has a few more steps then your regular buttermilk pancakes, but it was worth it. They are super fluffy and light and the warm blueberry compote is amazing. This recipe is best when fresh blueberries are available, frozen berries will not give you the same results. Whether you eat these pancake for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it will definitely satisfy your pancake craving!
