  • Fluffiest Blueberry Pancakes Recipe (courtesy of pinchofyum.com)

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

  • 1 cup flour

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1+ cup fresh blueberries

  • more butter for the pan

Directions

  1. Mix the milk and vinegar and let it sit for a minute or two (you’re making “buttermilk” here).

  2. Whisk the dry ingredients together. Whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter into the dry ingredients until just combined.

  3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt a little smear of butter in the pan (essential for giving a yummy golden brown crust).

  4. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the hot skillet and spread it flat-like (it will be pretty thick). Arrange a few blueberries on top. Cook until you see little bubbles on top and the edges starting to firm up. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are sky-high fluffy and cooked through.

  5. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
