Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes (Printable)

Light, fluffy pancakes bursting with fresh blueberries, served warm with butter and maple syrup for a classic breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 1/4 cups milk
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

09 - 1 cup fresh blueberries

→ For Serving

10 - Butter, to serve
11 - Maple syrup, to serve

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are acceptable.
04 - Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
05 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
06 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2 minutes.
07 - Flip pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.
09 - Serve hot with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These pancakes turn out impossibly fluffy every single time, no special technique required
  • The blueberry to batter ratio is generous enough that every bite bursts with fruit
02 -
  • Overmixing is the enemy of fluffy pancakes, stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest five minutes before cooking improves texture significantly
03 -
  • Frozen wild blueberries actually hold their shape better than fresh and add more concentrated flavor
  • A light dusting of confectioners sugar over the stack makes them feel extra special
