Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are well mixed and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
- Fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the blueberry pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional fresh blueberries.
Tips
- Don't overmix the batter - lumps are your friend! Overmixing can lead to tough, dense pancakes.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen, don't thaw them first to prevent color bleeding.
- Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature - a medium heat ensures golden-brown pancakes without burning.
- Test your first pancake as a "trial" to adjust heat and cooking time if needed.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while preparing the rest of the batch.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
- Customize your pancakes by adding a sprinkle of lemon zest or a dash of vanilla extract to the batter for additional flavor.
