In a small bowl, combine the milk and apple cider vinegar; set aside\n    and let curdle.\n2.  In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites, yogurt and brown sugar.\n3.  In another medium bowl, sift together flours and baking powder; add\n    to egg/yogurt mixture.\n4.  Briefly stir mixture to moisten; add about ¼ of the milk, stir to\n    moisten.\n5.  Continue adding ¼ of the milk mixture, stirring after each addition\n    until smooth.\n6.  Check the consistency of the batter; it should be smooth and viscous\n    to coat the back of a spoon, but it should not be anything near\n    pasty; on contrary, it should not be runny.\n7.  Fold in blueberries just enough to distribute in batter.\n\n## Grill\n\n1.  Spoon batter onto pancake grill and cook until done.\n\n## Notes\n\n-   2026-07-30: The cider vinegar line read \"2 ½ tablespoons\" with a space, which\n    the parser read as a quantity of 2 with \"½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar\"\n    as the item — so the shopping list carried the wrong merge key and scaling\n    multiplied 2 instead of 2½. Rewritten as \"2½ tablespoons (37ml)\". The amount\n    is unchanged.\n-   2026-07-30: Step 4's \"still to moisten\" was a typo for \"stir to moisten\".\n-   **Egg whites quantified (2026-07-30, Robert): 2.** Step 2 whisked egg whites that appeared in no ingredient list, with no amount anywhere in the recipe — a cook would have hit it mid-mix with nothing to work from. Two whites suits the 2 cups of total flour and matches the recipe's deliberately lean framing: skim milk, 1% Greek yogurt, whites rather than whole eggs.\n","draft":false,"servings":"4","prep_time":"15 minutes","cook_time":"20 minutes","total_time":"35 minutes","created_at":"2014-11-26T07:50:37Z","updated_at":"2026-07-30T23:05:37.837764Z","categories":["Breakfast"],"tags":["Apple Cider"],"methods":["Stove-Top"],"themes":["Vegetarian"],"ingredients":[{"section":"","items":["-   240ml (1 cup) milk (skim or 1%)","-   2 egg whites","-   2½ tablespoons (37ml) apple cider vinegar","-   3 tablespoons 1% Greek style yogurt","-   60ml (¼ cup) packed dark brown sugar","-   240ml (1 cup) all-purpose flour","-   120ml (½ cup) whole wheat flour","-   120ml (½ cup) barley flour","-   ¾ tablespoon baking powder","-   480ml (2 cups) fresh blueberries"],"parsed":[{"raw":"-   240ml (1 cup) milk (skim or 1%)","qty":240,"unit":"ml","item":"milk"},{"raw":"-   2 egg whites","qty":2,"item":"egg whites"},{"raw":"-   2½ tablespoons (37ml) apple cider vinegar","qty":2.5,"unit":"tbsp","item":"apple cider vinegar"},{"raw":"-   3 tablespoons 1% Greek style yogurt","qty":3,"unit":"tbsp","item":"1% Greek style yogurt"},{"raw":"-   60ml (¼ cup) packed dark brown sugar","qty":60,"unit":"ml","item":"packed dark brown sugar"},{"raw":"-   240ml (1 cup) all-purpose flour","qty":240,"unit":"ml","item":"all-purpose flour"},{"raw":"-   120ml (½ cup) whole wheat flour","qty":120,"unit":"ml","item":"whole wheat flour"},{"raw":"-   120ml (½ cup) barley flour","qty":120,"unit":"ml","item":"barley flour"},{"raw":"-   ¾ tablespoon baking powder","qty":0.75,"unit":"tbsp","item":"baking powder"},{"raw":"-   480ml (2 cups) fresh blueberries","qty":480,"unit":"ml","item":"fresh blueberries"}]}],"servings_int":4,"qc":{"status":"passed","last_checked_at":"2026-07-30T23:06:13.456649Z","checked_by":"claude-code","standard_version":"2026-07-30","findings_count":0,"stale":false}}
