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 and Cooking
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, do not thaw)
- More butter for the pan
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the buttermilk, add the eggs, and melted butter into the dry mixture. Whisk gently just until combined to avoid over-mixing, which keeps the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to the center of the skillet to help create a golden-brown crust on the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop the batter into the skillet and gently spread it into a circular shape. The batter will be thick. Place a few blueberries evenly on top of each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are fluffy and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with extra butter and maple syrup. Enjoy your freshly made blueberry pancakes!
Notes
- Do not over-mix the batter to ensure tender pancakes.
- You can use frozen blueberries directly from the freezer without thawing.
- Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning: medium-low heat works best.
- For fluffier pancakes, allow batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Serve with maple syrup or your favorite pancake toppings.
