Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Toppings — choose one: Housemade Granola or Chopped Walnuts
Optional Serving Add-ons
Method
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
- 1
Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine salt until evenly combined.
- 2
Mix wet ingredients
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup whisk the buttermilk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 3
Combine batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Small lumps are fine — do not overmix or the pancakes will be tough.
- 4
Fold in blueberries
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them without breaking them up too much.
- 5
Preheat pan
Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, brush with a thin layer of neutral oil or melted butter (about 1 tablespoon total).
- 6
Cook pancakes
For two-inch-thick or standard 4-5 inch pancakes, scoop about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between cakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until golden and cooked through, about 1–2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil/butter as needed.

Keep warm
If making ahead, keep finished pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish the rest so they stay warm and slightly crisp at the edges.
Toppings & Assembly

- 9
Plate two pancakes stacked. Sprinkle the chosen topping (about 1/2 cup granola or 1/4 cup chopped walnuts) evenly over the top of the stack.
- 10
Dust the stack lightly with powdered sugar (approximately 1 teaspoon) using a small fine-mesh sieve or sifter for an even dusting.
- 11
Add optional garnishes: drizzle 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup around or over the pancakes and scatter additional fresh blueberries if desired.

Serve immediately while warm.
