Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Baking powder | 2 tsp |
| Sugar | 2 tbsp |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| Milk | 1 1/2 cups |
| Egg | 1 large |
| Butter (melted) | 2 tbsp |
| Fresh blueberries | 1 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 tsp |
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined – don’t overmix.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently add the blueberries into the batter.
- Cook pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
- Flip & finish: Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes high and top with maple syrup, butter, or extra blueberries.
Pro Tips & Tricks
- Do not overmix the batter, or your pancakes will be dense.
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Add lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing twist.
Substitutions
- Use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free version.
- Replace butter with coconut oil for a lighter option.
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren’t available (don’t thaw before adding).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcooking pancakes – they burn quickly, so keep the heat medium.
- Overmixing the batter – this makes them tough instead of fluffy.
- Using too much oil on the pan – a light coating is enough.
