Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cake flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 unit large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or additional butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing—lumps are okay.

Step 4

Fold the blueberries into the batter carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed but without breaking them apart.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with maple syrup, extra butter, or a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.
