Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or white vinegar)
  • 1 cup milk (any kind, regular or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed)

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure that your blueberries are ready to go—if you’re using frozen, make sure they’re thawed and drained.
  • Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
  • Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients - In a separate bowl, beat the large egg. Then add the milk, vegetable oil, and lemon juice (or vinegar) to the egg. Whisk these ingredients together until they are fully mixed.
  • Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Step 5: Add Blueberries - Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Step 6: Heat the Skillet - Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. You can test if it’s ready by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate, it’s time to cook!
  • Step 7: Cook the Pancakes - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Step 8: Serve and Enjoy - Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with extra blueberries, syrup, or your favorite toppings!

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Skillet or Non-Stick Pan
  • Spatula

Notes

  • Be sure not to overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.
  • Use fresh blueberries when possible, as they provide a burst of flavor, but thawed frozen blueberries work well too.
  • If you like thicker pancakes, you can add a bit more flour to the batter.
  • Leftover pancakes can be reheated easily in a toaster or microwave, making them great for meal prep!
