Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 Cups All purpose flour
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Teaspoon Table Salt
  • 1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk or regular milk
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted butter melted
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 Cups Blueberries smallest you can find
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in bowl, set aside.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. Melt butter and immediately remove from heat to cool.  I typically melt the butter before I even start getting the other ingredients together.   You want the melted butter to cool enough so that when it's added to the milk the batter won't curdle. 

  2. Use room temperature buttermilk or warm in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

  3. Hand whip eggs, add to cooled butter and warmed milk.  Add vanilla if you like, this is optional.

Pancake Batter

  1. Slowly pour wet into dry ingredients and mix with a fork.  Mix only until well blended.  Over mixing will make for tougher pancakes.

  2. Pour blueberries into the batter and gently fold them in, trying not to break any berries.


Cook Pancakes

  1. Warm a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.  Test one pancake to see if the heat is right.  Usually my first pancake isn't visually appealing, which my dog loves because she usually gets the first pancake!

  2. Typically I'll add a pat of butter before I start cooking the pancakes to grease the pan, after the first round the greasing is no longer needed.

  3. Use a ladle or a 1/4 cup measuring cup and pour as many pancakes as you pan will allow, leaving room for spreading.  Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until you see bubbles appearing on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.  Flip.  Second side usually takes about half the time as the first side and doesn't brown as evenly.  I don't know the science as to why that is.
