Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure that the ingredients are well combined.
2. Create the Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can result in dense pancakes.
4. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries into the pancake batter. Be gentle to avoid crushing the berries.
5. Preheat the Griddle or Pan: Preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, usually 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip and Cook: Once the bubbles appear, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
8. Serve Warm: Transfer the pancakes to a plate, and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm, and if desired, top with additional fresh blueberries, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
9. Enjoy: Delight in the fluffy texture and burst of blueberry sweetness in every bite. These Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes are perfect for a leisurely breakfast or brunch!
