- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for the skillet)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1-2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (for topping)
- Optional: honey or maple syrup, additional blueberries for garnish
Directions
- Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to the batter.
- Cook Pancakes: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate. Generously dollop yogurt on top and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Garnish with additional fresh blueberries.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can use flavored yogurt such as blueberry or honey to complement the pancakes.
- These pancakes are fluffy and moist, thanks to the buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 2 tbsp of lemon juice or white vinegar to 2 cups of milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
