Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • more butter for the pan

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1+ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Make Buttermilk: Mix the milk and white vinegar in a bowl and let it sit for a minute or two to create homemade buttermilk, which helps tenderize the pancakes and add a subtle tang.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and flavor.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the homemade buttermilk and melted butter. Gradually add this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Heat the Pan and Melt Butter: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once warm, melt a small amount of butter in the pan to create a golden brown crust on the pancakes.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet and spread it slightly — the batter will be thick. Scatter fresh blueberries on top. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to firm, then flip the pancake. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden and fully cooked through.
  6. Serve: Enjoy pancakes immediately with butter and maple syrup or simply on their own for a deliciously simple breakfast.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh blueberries as frozen berries might bleed into the batter and become watery.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk to adjust consistency.
  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay and keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the batch.
  • Can substitute butter with oil for a dairy-free option, but flavor and crust texture may differ slightly.
