Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes (Printable)

Fluffy pancakes bursting with fresh blueberries, served warm with butter and maple syrup for a classic breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
03 - 1 tbsp baking powder
04 - 1/2 tsp salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 1/4 cups milk
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
08 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

09 - 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, not thawed)

→ For Serving

10 - Butter, to serve
11 - Maple syrup, to serve

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are fine.
04 - Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
05 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
06 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes.
07 - Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture impossibly light yet substantial enough to hold up to melting butter and warm syrup
  • Fresh blueberries burst between bites creating pockets of sweet juice throughout every pancake
  • Ready in about 25 minutes from start to finish making it perfect for weekends without requiring any special skills
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter creates tough, dense pancakes so stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking results in significantly fluffier pancakes
  • Medium heat is ideal, too high and they burn outside while remaining raw inside
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even heating and the crispest edges
  • Add lemon zest to the batter for brightness that cuts through the richness
  • Test your griddle temperature with a few drops of water, they should dance and evaporate quickly
