Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins and Cooking
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Blend wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy for fluffy pancakes.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw before adding.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat cooking: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as necessary to maintain a non-stick surface.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the blueberry pancakes warm with maple syrup, extra blueberries, or your preferred toppings for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Frozen blueberries can be added directly without thawing to prevent color bleeding and sogginess.
- Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping and cooking.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter.
