Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix! The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the blueberries carefully.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest.
Serve with maple syrup, extra blueberries, and a pat of butter.

Notes

Don’t Overmix the Batter – A few lumps are okay! Overmixing can make the pancakes dense.
Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries – If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent streaking.
Adjust the Heat – Medium heat is best to cook the pancakes through without burning.
Keep Pancakes Warm – Place cooked pancakes in a low oven (200°F/90°C) while making the rest.
