Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them.
- Cook pancakes: Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip and cook other side: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the bottom side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
- Serve warm: Serve the pancakes immediately while warm, topped with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender and fluffy pancakes.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained.
- Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning while ensuring pancakes cook through.
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative if needed.
