kcalIngredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
- Wet ingredients:
2 cups buttermilk (well-shaken)
2 large eggs
¼ cup melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add-ins:
1 to 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Directions
- Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is evenly combined so the pancakes rise properly.
Prepare the wet mixture
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Combine gently
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir lightly with a spoon or spatula until just combined. It’s okay if the batter looks a little lumpy—overmixing will make the pancakes dense.
Add blueberries
Fold in the blueberries gently. If you’re using frozen ones, don’t thaw them—this prevents the batter from turning purple.
Heat the pan
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
Cook the pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. 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.
Keep warm and repeat
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pancakes warm with:
Maple syrup
A pat of butter
Extra fresh blueberries
A light dusting of powdered sugar
Notes
- Tips for the Best Pancakes
Don’t overmix the batter—this is the most common mistake.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
Use medium heat; too high and they’ll burn outside while staying raw inside.
If you like evenly distributed berries, you can sprinkle blueberries onto each pancake after pouring the batter onto the pan instead of mixing them in.
Soft, slightly tangy, and bursting with juicy blueberries, these pancakes strike that perfect balance between indulgent and comforting. Whether it’s a weekend breakfast or a “breakfast for dinner” kind of day, they never disappoint.
