Instructions

Prepare dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Pro tip: Sifting the dry ingredients can help create lighter pancakes.

Combine wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Mix batter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to prevent tough pancakes.

Add blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.

Heat skillet

Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Pro tip: A drop of water should dance on the surface when the pan is ready.

Cook pancakes

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes.

Pro tip: Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Keep warm

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (around 93°C / 200°F) until all pancakes are cooked.

Serve

Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your blueberry pancakes with maple syrup, a dollop of butter, and perhaps a side of bacon or sausage for a complete breakfast experience. They also pair well with a fresh fruit salad or a smoothie for a lighter option. To store leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper between each and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat.
