Instructions :
1Gather all the ingredients and ensure they are measured accurately.
2In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
3In a separate bowl, beat the large eggs until they are light and frothy.
4Add the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs, and whisk until fully incorporated.
5Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.
6Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, and it's important not to overmix to ensure fluffy pancakes.
7Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them.
8Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
9Lightly coat the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of additional butter.
10Once the skillet is heated, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet, forming individual pancakes.
11Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
12Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
13Remove the pancakes from the skillet and transfer them to a warm plate.
14Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter as needed to prevent sticking.
15Serve the pancakes warm, with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, additional butter, or extra blueberries.
Notes :
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help them combine more smoothly.
- Use fresh, high-quality blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- To melt butter, place it in a microwave-safe dish and heat in short intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- When measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife for accuracy.
- Beating eggs until light and frothy helps incorporate air, contributing to the fluffiness of the pancakes.
- It’s important not to overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Folding blueberries into the batter gently helps prevent them from breaking and bleeding into the batter.
- Preheating the skillet ensures even cooking and helps pancakes rise properly.
- Use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned griddle to prevent pancakes from sticking and to achieve an even golden brown surface.
- Heating the skillet over medium heat allows pancakes to cook through without burning the outside.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup helps keep pancake sizes consistent, ensuring even cooking.
- Wait for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping to ensure pancakes are cooked through.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm by placing them in a low oven (around 200°F) while cooking the remaining batter.
- Common toppings include maple syrup, honey, whipped cream, or yogurt.
- Pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Reheat pancakes in a toaster or oven to maintain their texture.
Tips :
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this helps them combine more smoothly
- Use a spoon to scoop flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid packing too much flour, which can lead to dense pancakes
- Check the freshness of your baking powder and baking soda, as expired leavening agents can result in flat pancakes
- Be gentle when mixing the wet and dry ingredients to avoid activating gluten, which can make pancakes tough
- If buttermilk is unavailable, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with enough milk to make 1 cup, letting it sit for 5 minutes
- Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking, which helps the baking powder activate and results in fluffier pancakes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture, but if using frozen, do not thaw them to avoid the batter becoming too watery
- Preheat the skillet properly to ensure even cooking and to help the pancakes rise effectively
- Use a light touch when folding in blueberries to prevent them from bursting and releasing juice into the batter
- Test the skillet's heat by sprinkling a few drops of water on it; if they sizzle, it's ready for pancakes
- Avoid pressing down on the pancakes with a spatula, as this can make them dense
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) on a baking sheet while you finish cooking the rest
- If cooking for a crowd, consider using two skillets or a large griddle to speed up the process
- Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning, especially as the skillet retains heat over time
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as pancakes can lose their fluffiness if left to sit too long
- Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast option later
- Experiment with toppings like Greek yogurt, honey, or nuts for added flavor and texture variety
