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 & Cooking
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, do not thaw)
- More butter for pan cooking
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly combined to ensure your pancakes rise well and have balanced flavor.
- Combine wet and dry: Add the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk gently just until combined — be careful not to overmix to keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat skillet and prepare pan: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small pat of butter to the center of the pan. This butter helps create a beautifully golden-brown crust on your pancakes.
- Cook pancakes: Scoop 1/3 cup of the thick batter into the skillet and gently spread into a circle. Evenly place a few blueberries on top. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until fluffy and cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with extra butter and maple syrup or your favorite toppings for a classic breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent dense pancakes; a few lumps are fine.
- Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they’re cooked through.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients if desired.
- Leftover pancakes reheat well in a toaster or oven for quick breakfast.
