Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes
To make these delicious pancakes, you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour – The base for fluffy pancakes.
- 2 tablespoons sugar – Adds a hint of sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder – Helps the pancakes rise.
- ½ teaspoon baking soda – Reacts with buttermilk for extra fluffiness.
- ½ teaspoon salt – Balances the flavors.
- 2 cups buttermilk – Makes the pancakes soft and tender.
- 2 large eggs – Adds structure and richness.
- ¼ cup melted butter – For a buttery, golden finish.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the flavor.
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries – The star of the show!
- Extra butter or oil – For cooking.
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.
