Description

These fluffy blueberry buttermilk pancakes are light, tender, and bursting with juicy blueberries, perfect for a comforting breakfast or weekend brunch served with pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups (300 ml) buttermilk
1 large egg, room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be a bit lumpy.
Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, trying not to break them up.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small knob of butter to coat the surface.
Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate or cooling rack and tent with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.
Serve stacked with a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes. Fold blueberries gently to keep them whole. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) covered loosely with foil. If batter thickens, add a splash of buttermilk to loosen it. Avoid pressing down on pancakes while cooking to maintain fluffiness.
