Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Buttermilk gives these blueberry pancakes their fluffy, tender texture, while fresh or frozen blueberries add bursts of tart-sweet flavor throughout. The batter comes together in about 10 minutes and cooks up quickly on a griddle, making them a reliable choice for a weekend breakfast or brunch.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Non-stick skillet
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour preferably unbleached
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk shake well
- 1 large egg preferably free-range
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and patted dry
- 2-4 tablespoons neutral oil or additional butter for greasing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; over-mixing can lead to tough pancakes.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
- For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Adjust heat as necessary to ensure even cooking without burning.
Notes
- For an extra zing, add a pinch of lemon zest to the batter.
- If fresh blueberries aren't available, frozen ones can be used; no need to thaw, just be aware they might tint the batter blue.
