🕒 Prep Time: 10 min
🍳 Cook Time: 20 min
🍰 Yields: About 15 pancakes
Ingredients
- 200 g fresh blueberries
- 180 g all-purpose flour
- 60 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 small eggs
- 470 ml buttermilk
- 20 g melted butter
Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs well.
- Add buttermilk and 2 tbsp melted butter, mix thoroughly.
3. Combine Batter
- Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients.
- Stir gently just until flour disappears—some lumps are fine.
4. Cook Pancakes
- Heat a pan well and test by sprinkling water; if it sizzles, pan is ready.
- Reduce heat to medium-low (pancakes cook best on moderate heat).
- Brush the pan with melted butter.
- Pour about 1 tbsp batter per pancake, shaping circles with the back of the spoon.
- Sprinkle blueberries on top and gently press them into the batter.
- Cook about 2 minutes until edges look dry, then flip and cook 2 more minutes.
- Repeat until all batter is used.
- Clean pan with paper towel and re-butter between batches.
5. Serve
- Serve immediately, dusted with sugar and drizzled with honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Arrange pancakes with the first-cooked (golden) side facing up for the prettiest presentation.
💡 Tips
- For a smoother look, blueberries can be mixed directly into the batter but pancakes won’t have the golden “face.”
- Cooking on medium-low heat prevents burning and ensures fluffy pancakes.
- Wiping and re-buttering the pan between batches keeps pancakes from sticking and browning evenly.
🎉 Perfect For
