Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Who doesn't like blueberry pancakes? It's soft and puffy inside. The bites of blueberry... oh my.... it's sweet with a slight hint of sourness, which also helps to keep the pancakes moist. It's delightful to start your Sunday morning with this melting-in-the-mouth pancakes, with a sip of fresh brew coffee or tea or even fresh fruit juice.

 

Ingredients

Dry ingredients:
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
Other ingredients:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 Tbsp warm melted butter
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 Tbsp of butter or vegetable oil
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Method

1 Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the eggs, milk and buttermilk in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter just comes together. Add the melted butter. Mix lightly. Fold in the blueberries (or wait to add them once the batter has already been poured on the griddle - this will keep them from bleeding).
2 Heat a flat iron surface - griddle or large pan - to medium high heat. Oil the pan with either a Tbsp of butter or vegetable oil. Ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle to the desired size, usually about 5 or 6 inches wide. When air bubbles start to bubble up to the surface at the center of the pancakes (about 2-3 minutes), use a flat spatula to flip them over. When golden or darker golden brown, they are done. Note that cooking the second side takes only about half as long as the first side. And the second side doesn't brown as evenly as the first side. Serve immediately.

Serve with butter and maple syrup or honey.
Serves 3-4.
