Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking the berries.
- Prepare to Cook: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set, then flip and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup, additional blueberries, or a light dusting of powdered sugar as desired.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, add them directly to the batter without thawing to prevent color bleeding.
- If buttermilk is unavailable, substitute regular milk combined with 1 teaspoon lemon juice to mimic buttermilk’s acidity.
