Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serving size: Makes about 8 pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon to form a round shape.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the Blueberry Pancakes hot, with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup and decorate with other berries if desired.
- Enjoy your homemade Blueberry Pancakes as a delicious and satisfying breakfast treat!
