Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins and Cooking
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing skillet
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the large egg. Then add the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well to fully incorporate.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen berries, add them directly without thawing to prevent batter discoloration.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes (first side): Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear dry.
- Flip and cook second side: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve warm: Serve the blueberry pancakes warm with maple syrup, extra blueberries, or whipped cream as desired for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- If using frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing to maintain color and texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results and easy flipping.
- Adjust heat to medium to avoid burning before cooking through.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter.
