Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for cooking and topping
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet or pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until warm.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter (warm, not hot), and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or spoon. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully fold in the blueberries.
  6. Lightly butter the skillet. Using a ¼ cup (60ml) measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot pan.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm covered loosely with foil or on a cooling rack in a warm oven (about 200°F/90°C) while cooking the rest.
  9. Serve stacked pancakes drizzled generously with melted butter and real maple syrup immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking. Cook on medium heat and flip only once when bubbles appear and edges set. If batter is too thick, add a splash of buttermilk. Avoid pressing pancakes while cooking to maintain fluffiness. Frozen blueberries can be used directly without thawing to prevent batter discoloration.
