Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Carefully fold in fresh or frozen blueberries to preserve their shape.
- Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until drops of water dance and evaporate quickly.
- Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F / 90°C) while finishing the rest.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better blending. Preheat pan properly and flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges look set. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven. Fold blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.
