Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes for a Weekend Brunch
Ingredients
To make these fluffy blueberry pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
Step 4: Add Blueberries
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to burst them.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional fresh blueberries.
Tips and Variations
- If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries. Just be sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the batter.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
- If you prefer lighter pancakes, you can separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the batter at the end.
- You can also add other mix-ins to the batter, such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
