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 & For Cooking
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, don’t thaw)
- More butter for pan
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk, add the eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk gently just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to the center of the skillet; this helps develop a golden-brown crust on the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the skillet and gently spread it into a circle. The batter will be thick. Place a few blueberries evenly on top. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until pancakes are fluffy and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with butter and maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your delicious blueberry pancakes!
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent the batter from becoming watery.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender pancakes.
- Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
- You can keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F/93°C) while finishing the batch.
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid pressing down on them while cooking.
