Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 Tablespoons melted butter (slightly cooled)
Add-ins and Cooking
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (can also use frozen, do not thaw)
- More butter for pan greasing
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly combined to ensure proper rising and flavor distribution.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter into the dry mixture. Whisk gently just until combined; do not over-mix to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to the center of the pan to help form a golden-brown crust on the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop batter into the skillet, gently spreading into a circle. Evenly place a few blueberries on top. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve warm with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Do not over-mix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; lumps are normal.
- If using frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
- Adjust heat as needed during cooking to prevent burning while ensuring pancakes cook through.
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking.
