Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs Essential for binding the ingredients and adding richness.
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk The star ingredient for tenderness and flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional) Adds warmth and depth to the flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter For a rich and buttery taste.
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour The base of the pancakes.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda Works with buttermilk to give extra lift.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar For a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) The juicy burst of flavor in every bite.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. This will be your dry mixture.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 1 and 1/2 cups of buttermilk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (if using), and 3 tablespoons of melted butter until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Gently fold in the 1 cup of blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or a cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. Once cooked, stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings. Maple syrup, whipped cream, or more fresh blueberries make fantastic choices!
