Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy—this is okay.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 3: Serve
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, extra blueberries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Don’t Overmix the Batter – Overmixing can result in tough pancakes. Stir until just combined.
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries – Both work well in this recipe, though fresh blueberries will give you the juiciest results.
Keep Pancakes Warm – If you’re making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm by placing them in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
Perfect Pancake Size – For ideal-sized pancakes, use a ¼ cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle.
