🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1.5 cups cake flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 unit large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or additional butter (for greasing the pan)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

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

2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing—lumps are okay.

4. Fold the blueberries into the batter carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed but without breaking them apart.

5. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.

7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

8. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

9. Serve warm with maple syrup, extra butter, or a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.
