Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – The base for the pancakes.
- 2 tablespoons sugar – Adds a little sweetness.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder – Helps the pancakes rise.
- ½ teaspoon baking soda – Adds extra fluffiness.
- ½ teaspoon salt – To enhance the flavor.
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk – For creaminess and tanginess.
- 1 large egg – To bind the ingredients.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter – Melted, for richness.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – For a hint of flavor.
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen) – For that sweet burst in each bite.
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.
