Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • More butter for the pan

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Fruit

  • 1+ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Make Buttermilk: Mix the milk and white vinegar together and let it rest for a minute or two. This mixture acts as a homemade buttermilk, which helps make the pancakes tender and fluffy.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk-vinegar mixture, and melted butter. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
  4. Heat the Pan: Place a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface, which will help create a golden brown, flavorful crust on the pancakes.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the hot pan and spread it gently to even thickness. Immediately scatter a few fresh blueberries on top of the batter. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked and fluffy.
  6. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with extra butter and maple syrup if desired. They are delightful plain as well.

Notes

  • Allowing the milk and vinegar to sit creates homemade buttermilk, crucial for fluffy pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay and prevent tough pancakes.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture; frozen can be used but may make batter watery.
  • Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through.
  • These pancakes are best eaten immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven.
