Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup at room temperature buttermilk
- 1/4 cup at room temperature (plus an extra tablespoon if the batter is too thick) milk
- 1 large separated egg
- 2 tablespoons melted, plus 2 tablespoons for serving butter
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup for serving maple syrup
How To Make Pancakes Recipe?
- Preheat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a measuring jug, combine buttermilk, milk, egg yolk, and melted butter. Whisk well, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Whisk egg whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg white into the pancake batter for a light, fluffy texture.
- Add blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.
- Cook the pancakes: Lightly spray the preheated griddle with non-stick cooking spray or grease with butter. Pour 60ml / 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the underside is golden (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup. Add extra blueberries for garnish, if desired.
Recipe Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: For the fluffiest pancakes, ensure your buttermilk, milk, and egg are at room temperature. This helps the batter mix smoothly and cook evenly.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Stir the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can make the pancakes dense and chewy instead of light and fluffy.
- Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks: Whipping the egg white and folding it gently into the batter is key to creating airy, soft pancakes. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
- Preheat the griddle properly: A well-heated griddle ensures the pancakes cook evenly and develop that perfect golden-brown color. Test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water – they should sizzle and evaporate.
- Cook pancakes in small batches: Avoid overcrowding the griddle. This gives you plenty of space to flip the pancakes easily and ensures each one cooks to perfection.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover blueberry pancakes cool to room temperature. Once cooled, stack them with parchment paper between each pancake, then place them in an airtight container or a resealable bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Allow the blueberry pancakes to cool completely before freezing. Stack them with parchment paper in between, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Stack pancakes on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 20–30 seconds per pancake until heated through.
