Tasty Nectarine Buttermilk Pancakes & Wild Blueberry Sauce

This is one of the best tasting pancake recipes, I’ve ever created. I am very proud of this recipe, the pancakes are tender, light, fluffy and served with a delicious blueberry sauce. If you don’t want to use Grand Marnia, I would recommend substituting with ½ tsp of finely grated orange rind. I leave the skin on the nectarine because I like the flavor and texture that it offers. Try these pancakes you will not be disappointed.
