Buttermilk and Blueberries: why?
The reason that buttermilk is in pancakes is to keep them tender and fluffy by reacting with baking soda to make air pockets. But in contrast to blueberries, which are sweet, tart, the way they add a sweet, tart contrast to the pancakes’ richness. They are an ideal pair to go together to make a delicious breakfast.
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancake Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 4):
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
2 Large Eggs
2 Cups Buttermilk
1/4 Cup smooth Unsalted Butter, melted.
Vanilla Extract (optional) 1 Tsp
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries 1–1½ Cups
Butter or Oil for Cooking
Instructions:
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Combine the Batter:
Mixing the dry ingredients along with the wet ingredients, then stirring just until you can’t stir it anymore. Do not overmix, and lumps are good.
Blueberries need to gently fold in so they’re all blended and none have burst.
4. Heat the Pan:
Heat to medium in a non stick skillet or griddle. Butter or oil lightly.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
When you pour in about 1/4 cup of batter to the skillet for each pancake.
Bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set—cook 2–3 minutes more.
Cook another 1–2 minutes on the other side until golden brown when you flip carefully.
6. Serve:
Heat the pancakes slightly and stack the pancakes then serve with butter, syrup, or extra blueberries on top.

Tips for Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes (the Perfect Ones)
Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries:
If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them because the batter will turn blue. Don’t fold them in if they sink.
Don’t Overmix:
Should retain a few lumps in it. Mixing too much can cause dense pancakes.
Even Cooking:
To make pancakes cook them on medium heat so you don’t burn them and so they cook evenly.
Keep Pancakes Warm:
Finish the batch while cooking pancakes, placing them in a 200°F oven.
