This is the best way to add berries

Blueberry pancakes are best when the berries are added to the batter. What is the best way to ensure a uniform blueberry distribution? While the batter is cooking, place the blueberries directly onto the batter. Why? You can make lumpy pancakes if you put the berries in the batter bowl. Place them on top to get circular pancakes that have the perfect amount of fruit.

One thing you should know: If the berries are added to the pancakes while they’re still on the griddle it won’t show the full extent of the berries. It’s okay! If you cut through the middle, they will be visible.

Tips for cooking blueberry pancakes

Blueberry pancakes are easy to make once you have the basics down. These pancakes are very similar to the standard recipe. These are some best tips to ensure they turn out perfectly golden brown.

• Non-stick griddles are best. Griddles can be uneven in heating. We had a cast-iron griddle which would make each pancake a completely different colour. It’s easy to use nonstick and it doesn’t need to be oiled.
• You can experiment to determine the ideal heat level. It’s best to keep the heat at medium low, however it can vary from one stovetop to another. The pan should be heated for a couple of minutes.
• Use approximately 1/4 cup batter to create a pancake. Medium-sized pancakes are possible.
• Do not worry if your first pancake fails! You can use it to practice your skills, and then adjust the heat as needed.

Blueberry pancakes variations

There are many ways to make blueberry pancakes different from the original recipe. These are some fun additions and alternative methods you can try.

• Blueberry sauce Enjoy the best blueberry flavors with Easy Blueberry Sauce. We highly recommend this!
• Lemon: To give the batter a zesty twist, add 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
• Buttermilk: Try Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes to get a tender crumb.
• Vegan: Opt for Vegan Blueberry Pancakes.
• Gluten-free: Add blueberries to Oatmeal Pancakes, Banana Oatmeal Pancakes.

Description

This classic blueberry pancake recipe is fluffy, golden brown and packed with sweet tart berries. This is the best way to get up in the morning!

Ingredients

Scale

• All-purpose flour 1 cup
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking flour
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup unsalted butter melted or neutral oil
• half a teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice*
• 1 cup blueberries
• Blueberry Sauce is an option

Instructions

1. Mix together flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl.
   
   Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Next, add the milk, butter or oil, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
2. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet until you get a batter. It will begin to thicken once it has sat for 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Butter a skillet/griddle lightly with butter and then wipe away any excess grease using a paper towel. The skillet should be heated on medium-low heat. Place 1/4 cup of batter in a bowl. Add a handful of blueberries to each pancake. The pancakes should be cooked until they are golden brown and have bubbles on top. Flip them over and continue cooking until they are cooked to your liking.
4. To keep the pancakes warm, place them under an inverted bowl. Continue with remaining batter. Adjust heat as needed to keep the pancakes at an even temperature. Add Blueberry Sauce or maple syrup to the batter immediately.
