Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 Tablespoons melted butter (slightly cooled)
Add-ins
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, do not thaw)
For Cooking
- More butter for pan
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter into the dry mixture. Whisk gently just until combined, ensuring not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to the center of the skillet to help form a golden-brown crust on the pancakes.
- Cook pancakes: Scoop 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the pan and gently spread it into a circle. Sprinkle a few blueberries evenly on top. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, then carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until fluffy and fully cooked.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy your homemade blueberry pancakes!
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent bleeding of color in the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are okay to ensure tender pancakes.
- Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning and achieve a golden crust.
- These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven while cooking remaining batches.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, gently fold in a bit of whipped egg whites.
