Homemade fluffy blueberry pancakes are made with fresh blueberries and are the best buttermilk blueberry pancakes ever! These are easy blueberry pancakes made from scratch.
3 3/4 cupsButtermilk(if you want thinner pancakes, add 4 cups of buttermilk)
6TablespoonsMelted Butter
2cupsFresh Blueberries
Butter(for skillet)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar, and stir until combined. Add eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter and whisk to combine.
Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Test for readiness by sprinkling some water on the pan and if it spatters off the griddle, it's hot enough. I prefer to start on a lower heat setting to ensure the inside of the pancake gets fully cooked through.
Coat with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour pancake batter onto pan. Sprinkle the top with fresh blueberries.
When bubbles appear on top of the pancake, flip to cook the other side. Watch carefully as pancakes can brown quickly. Keep it at a lower heat to ensure that the inside gets cooked through without the outside getting too brown. Serve warm.
Serve with real maple syrup, fresh blueberries, and whipped cream.
Notes
