Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then add milk, melted butter, and lemon zest. Whisk these wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared sheet pan, using a spatula to spread it to the edges and create an even layer.
- Sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly across the surface of the batter, gently pressing some of them slightly into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
- Serve warm with additional blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- Don't overmix the batter! Gentle mixing keeps your pancake tender and fluffy. A few small lumps are your secret to a perfect texture.
- Use fresh, plump blueberries for the best flavor and presentation. If using frozen, don't thaw them to prevent color bleeding.
- Check doneness with the toothpick test - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- For extra zestiness, add an extra pinch of lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice to the batter.
- Customize your toppings: Try Greek yogurt, whipped cream, honey, or a sprinkle of toasted almonds for added texture and flavor.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to make the morning cooking process even smoother and more enjoyable.
