How to Make Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes

Step 1: Prepare 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 until smooth.

Step 2: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 3: Heat the Skillet
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, or extra blueberries.

Serving Suggestions

• Drizzle with warm maple syrup for the perfect sweetness.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt for extra indulgence.
• Top with additional fresh blueberries, strawberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips for the Best Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes

• Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir the batter gently—overmixing can result in dense pancakes.
• Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both work great! Just don’t thaw frozen blueberries before adding them to the batter, as they can discolor the pancakes.
• Keep Pancakes Warm: If making multiple pancakes, keep them warm by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
• Make It Fluffy: To ensure your pancakes are fluffy, use a spoon to scoop flour into the measuring cup, then level it off with a knife.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Freeze pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or toaster for a quick breakfast.
• Reheat: To reheat, place pancakes on a baking sheet in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
A1: Yes! You can use regular milk, but the pancakes won’t have the same tangy flavor. For a buttermilk substitute, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then fill it with milk to make 1 ¼ cups.

Q2: Can I make these pancakes without eggs?
A2: Yes! You can substitute the egg with a flax egg or a mashed banana for a vegan version.

Q3: Can I use other fruits instead of blueberries?
A3: Absolutely! You can use raspberries, strawberries, or even chocolate chips for a fun twist. Just be gentle when adding to the batter to avoid smashing the fruit.
