Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Leavening Agents:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Liquid and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Thoroughly blend dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Whisk wet components together in a separate container: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a light texture.
- Delicately incorporate fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle to medium heat (around 375°F), applying a thin layer of butter or oil.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake, allowing sufficient spacing.
- Monitor pancakes until small bubbles emerge across the surface and edges appear set, typically 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip pancakes and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-brown complexion.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a warm plate, allowing excess moisture to escape and maintaining optimal texture.
- Garnish with preferred toppings such as maple syrup, additional blueberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Adjust buttermilk’s acidity by adding a splash of lemon juice to regular milk if you don’t have buttermilk on hand.
- Prevent blueberries from sinking by lightly coating them in flour before folding into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Maintain consistent pancake size by using a measuring cup or ladle for uniform cooking and professional-looking results.
- For gluten-free variation, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
