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)
Add-ins and Cooking
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, do not thaw)
- More butter for pan greasing
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk, add eggs, and melted butter. Whisk gently just until the ingredients come together. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter in the center to coat the pan and help create a golden-brown crust on the pancakes.
- Cook pancakes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet and gently spread it into a circle. Place several blueberries evenly on top of the batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until pancakes are fluffy and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with additional butter and maple syrup if desired. Enjoy the soft, fluffy texture and sweet blueberry flavor!
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough pancakes; lumps are okay.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw before adding to batter to avoid color bleed.
- Adjust heat of skillet if pancakes brown too quickly or slowly to ensure even cooking.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, make sure your baking powder is fresh for proper rising.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or keep warm in a low oven while cooking remaining pancakes.
