Blueberry
Whipped egg whites folded into a cinnamon-nutmeg batter with frozen blueberries that burst and bleed purple across the surface. They look like a mess. They taste incredible.

Notes
things we learned along the way
- Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer. Thawed ones bleed too much into the batter before cooking.
- The whipped egg whites make these fluffy. Don't deflate them by stirring too aggressively.
- Cinnamon and nutmeg together with blueberries is a combination most people don't try. It works.
