Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1¼ – 1½ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (or white sugar)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Additional
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Place butter in a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup and heat in the microwave on 50% power for 30-45 seconds until melted.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract to the melted butter and whisk until very smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and kosher salt until well combined. Create a well in the center.
- Mix Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold them together using a rubber spatula until just combined; small lumps are fine.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly.
- Rest Batter: Let the batter rest for 10 minutes, then stir gently. Adjust consistency with extra buttermilk (1-2 tbsp at a time) if too thick or flour (1 tbsp at a time) if too thin, aiming for a thick but pourable batter.
- Heat Skillet: Warm a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat until droplets of water sprinkle and slide on the surface then evaporate, indicating the right temperature.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour three ¼ cup portions of batter evenly spaced into the skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes until edges are set and bubbles appear on top and stay after popping. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Notes
- Use a fish spatula or similar flexible spatula for easier flipping.
- Resting the batter helps develop flavor and achieve tender pancakes.
- Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
- The pancake batter consistency should be thick but pourable, similar to brownie batter but thicker than cake batter.
