Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour – The base for soft, fluffy pancakes.
- 2 tablespoons sugar – Adds a hint of sweetness.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder – Helps the pancakes rise.
- ½ teaspoon baking soda – Works with the buttermilk for extra fluff.
- ½ teaspoon salt – Enhances flavor.
- 2 cups buttermilk – The secret to soft, tender pancakes.
- 2 large eggs – Adds structure and richness.
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted – For a buttery taste.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds a warm, sweet flavor.
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries – The star of the show!
- Butter or oil, for cooking – Prevents sticking.
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine & Add Blueberries
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined (don’t overmix!).
- Fold in blueberries, keeping some for topping.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, spacing them apart.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2 minutes).
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Stack the pancakes and top with extra blueberries.
- Drizzle with maple syrup and add a pat of butter for extra goodness!
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined for the fluffiest texture.
- Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen, don’t thaw—just toss them in with a little flour to prevent streaking.
- Preheat Your Pan: A hot, well-greased skillet ensures even browning.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven while making the rest.
