Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) baking powder
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp (2.5 ml) salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) melted butter (or oil)
- 1 tsp (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
- Extra butter
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Blend Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
- Combine Wet Elements: Thoroughly mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate vessel until perfectly integrated.
- Create Batter: Merge wet and dry mixtures with a gentle hand, maintaining a slightly lumpy consistency. Tenderly fold in blueberries, taking care to prevent fruit from breaking.
- Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium temperature, lightly greasing with butter or oil to prevent adherence.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour batter in measured portions, allowing sufficient spacing between each pancake. Watch for telltale bubbles emerging across the surface and edges firming up, typically within 2-3 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Flip pancakes with confidence, cooking the reverse side until achieving a golden-brown exterior and ensuring complete internal cooking. Transfer to serving plates while piping hot.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Adorn with a luxurious butter pat, cascade pure maple syrup, or personalize with additional fresh blueberries, billowy whipped cream, or a delicate powdered sugar dusting.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently to keep pancakes light and fluffy, avoiding tough textures from excessive stirring.
- Blueberry Distribution: Fold berries softly to prevent breaking, ensuring even spread throughout the pancake for consistent flavor.
- Temperature Control: Maintain medium heat to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning, allowing perfect internal cooking.
- Batter Resting Trick: Let batter sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking to activate baking powder and create extra-tender pancakes.
