Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) water
  • Pinch of lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups (480ml) of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 4 tablespoons (57g) of melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently—don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay.
  3. Heat your griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a little butter to grease it lightly.
  4. Scoop 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (150g) of blueberries, 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) of water. Heat on medium until the berries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Add a pinch of lemon zest if desired.
  6. Stack pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with the warm blueberry syrup. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while making the rest.
