Instructions

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.

Notes

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.
