Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking)
Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Combine the wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in blueberries:
Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.
Heat the skillet:
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Cook the pancakes:
Scoop ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. 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.
Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate, add your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra blueberries, and enjoy!
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before folding into the batter to avoid streaking the color.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
