How to Make Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
What You Need To Make This Recipe
To make this recipe, you will need:
- 2 cups all purposes flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- butter or non-stick cooking spray for cooking
You will also need a griddle or a large, flat bottomed, non-stick skillet.
The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.
Prep!
Rinse the blueberries and remove any stems.
Create!
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium size bowl. Stir to combine.
Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Chef’s Tip: you can substitute vanilla coffee creamer instead of milk to give these pancakes added sweetness with a hint of vanilla.
Whisk until everything is just combined. Be sure not to over-mix the batter. Doing so can result in rubbery pancakes. It’s okay if there are still some small lumps in the batter.
Gently fold in the blueberries. Set aside to rest while you preheat your griddle or pan.
Preheat your griddle to 300°F or a large, flat bottomed, non-stick skillet to medium or medium-low heat.
Chef’s Tip: cook the pancakes at a lower temperature so that they cook more slowly. This will allow the pancakes to cook through all the way without browning too much on the outside.
Scoop out 1/4 cup batter per pancake and place on the griddle. Cook until lightly golden on the bottom and bubbles just start appearing on top. Flip and cook 2-3 more minutes or until the bottom is golden as well.
Remove to a plate.
Present!
Stack up a few pancakes and top with butter, maple syrup, and/or more blueberries.
Tip: If you really want to take the blueberry flavor over the top, try topping these Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes with my recipe for Perfect Blueberry Sauce.
