Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients

1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
3½ teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups (300 ml) milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Mix until smooth.

Combine the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.

Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. If using frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve

Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, honey, or extra blueberries.

Tips for Extra Fluffy Pancakes

Avoid pressing pancakes while cooking
