Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Β½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 Β½ teaspoons baking powder
  • Β½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ΒΌ cups (300ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined; a few lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
  4. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly without crushing.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  6. Using a ladle or ΒΌ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip gently and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with remaining batter.
  9. Serve stacked pancakes drizzled generously with maple syrup and topped with extra fresh blueberries.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning pancakes. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Frozen blueberries can be used directly without thawing to avoid soggy batter. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200Β°F (95Β°C) oven while finishing the batch. For vegan adaptation, replace egg with flax egg or applesauce and use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
