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)
Additional
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, do not thaw)
- More butter for 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 thoroughly combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk, crack in the eggs, and add the melted butter to the dry mixture. Whisk gently until just combined, taking care not to over-mix to keep the pancakes tender.
- Preheat skillet and prepare pan: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter to the center. The butter helps create a golden-brown crust on the pancakes.
- Cook pancakes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of the thick batter into the center of the skillet and gently spread it into a circle. Evenly place a few blueberries on top of each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, then flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are fluffy and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the blueberry pancakes warm with extra butter and maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Notes
- Do not over-mix batter to ensure the pancakes stay fluffy and tender.
- Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing to prevent bleeding into the batter.
- Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the pancakes while allowing them to cook through.
- Add extra butter to the pan as needed between batches to keep pancakes from sticking.
- This recipe yields about 10 pancakes, perfect for a crowd.
