Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup fresh or thawed blueberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, the zest of 1 lemon, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh or thawed blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a little butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, extra blueberries, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.

Keywords: Don't overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes. If using fresh blueberries, gently rinse and pat dry to prevent excess moisture. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch. You can add vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor, and top with whipped cream or Greek yogurt for a delicious twist.
