Description

These fluffy blueberry pancakes are the perfect breakfast treat, bursting with fresh blueberries and a golden-brown crust. Easy to make and quickly cooked on the stovetop, they’re fluffy, sweet, and ready to be enjoyed with butter and maple syrup.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (slightly cooled)

Add-ins and Cooking

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, do not thaw)
  • Additional butter for the pan


Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk, crack in the eggs, and add the melted butter. Whisk gently just until the batter is combined; be careful not to over-mix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  3. Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to the center of the skillet to help create a golden-brown crust on the pancakes.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the skillet and gently spread it into a circle, noting the batter will be thick. Evenly distribute a few blueberries on top of the batter. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set, typically about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pancake is fully cooked and fluffy.
  5. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with additional butter and maple syrup of choice. Enjoy your delicious blueberry pancakes!

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter to avoid dense pancakes; a few lumps are okay.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them as this can discolor the batter and make pancakes soggy.
  • Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning the pancakes, cooking them gently ensures fluffiness.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge and reheated in a toaster or skillet for best texture.
