Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes (Print Version)

Light, fluffy pancakes loaded with fresh blueberries and topped with butter and pure maple syrup.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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

→ For Serving

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

# Steps:

01 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until evenly distributed.
02 - Whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and well combined.
03 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; some small lumps should remain. Do not overmix.
04 - Gently fold blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
05 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking oil.
06 - Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges appear set, approximately 2 minutes.
07 - Flip pancakes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer until golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Transfer pancakes to a serving plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The blueberries burst through the batter creating little pockets of warm sweetness in every bite
  • These pancakes come out impossibly light and fluffy yet substantial enough to keep you satisfied for hours
02 -
  • Overmixing is the number one mistake people make with pancakes. Leave those lumps alone for fluffier results
  • The griddle should be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles but not so hot that the butter burns
03 -
  • Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking for even fluffier pancakes
  • Add lemon zest to the batter for a bright contrast to the sweet blueberries
