Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup

  • Butter

  • Additional blueberries (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 2: Fold in the Blueberries

  1. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

  2. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them beforehand to prevent the batter from turning blue.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with butter, maple syrup, and additional blueberries if desired.

  2. Serve immediately and savor the fluffy, fruity goodness!

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temperature milk and eggs for a smoother batter.

  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy.

  • Keep Warm: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you cook the rest.
