The Best Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Lennie's Note:

I am such a sucker for visuals. I saw these pancakes being made on a cooking show this morning (Cookworks), dashed out to buy fresh blueberries, and made these for dinner tonight. They did not disappoint! Try them; they're delicious!

• Total Time: 26 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 16 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 12 pancakes

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
• 2 cups buttermilk
• ¼ cup melted unsalted butter (allowed to cool down)
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Directions:

1. Please note that you'll also need additional unsalted butter to grease your skillet (you could also use nonstick cooking spray like Pam; I did some with butter and some with Pam and all worked fine and tasted great).
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt (I do this through a sieve, not with a sifter).
3. After melted butter has cooled down, beat the eggs with the buttermilk in a separate bowl then whisk in the melted butter.
4. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine just until you have a lumpy batter; do NOT overmix.
5. Over medium-high heat, heat some butter in a large skillet (you could use a griddle too, of course).
6. For each pancake, use a generous 1/4 cup of batter; after spooning batter into skillet, sprinkle top of each pancake with blueberries and press them in slightly.
7. I was quite generous with sprinkling the blueberries, then when I got to my last pancake I found I didn't have many left, so you may want to have some extra blueberries on hand.
8. Cook each pancake for approximately 2 minutes per side; the length of time will depend on how hot you have the heat, how well your skillet retains the heat, etc.
9. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven as you make them, then serve; best when served with real maple syrup.

At first I was a little bit worried about these pancakes because they went on the griddle very thin, but then they poofed up very nicely. They had a really delicious taste and I will definately be using this recipe again. Thanks for posting!

Halved the recipe for the 3 of us and we had a couple left over. We loved these pancakes and have them regularly since finding the recipe! I have made them with pineapple, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries so far. All are delicious!

Perfect pancakes! I've made these several times with and without blueberries and they are delicious! The only change I've made is to use powdered buttermilk rather than fresh (I can never seem to use a whole carton of buttermilk).
