Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¼ cups milk

  • 1 large egg

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¾1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • Butter or oil for the pan

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  4. Gently fold in the blueberries.

  5. Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.

  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.

  8. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

  9. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and extra blueberries if desired.

Notes

  • Fresh or frozen blueberries both work well in this recipe.

  • If using frozen blueberries, add them directly from the freezer to prevent the batter from turning purple.

  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
