Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine the Batter
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix—some lumps are okay.
Step 4: Add the Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first to prevent the batter from turning purple.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and extra blueberries on top.
Notes
- Use Fresh Buttermilk – It gives the pancakes extra tenderness and flavor.
- Don’t Overmix – Stir until just combined to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Let the Batter Rest – Letting it sit for 5 minutes can improve texture.
- Medium Heat is Key – Too high, and the pancakes burn before cooking through.
- Frozen Blueberries Work Too – Just add them straight from the freezer.
