Introduction

These fluffiest blueberry pancakes are the perfect weekend treat, combining tender, sky-high stacks with juicy bursts of fresh blueberries. Easy to make and incredibly satisfying, they’ll quickly become your favorite breakfast or brunch recipe.

Two thick blueberry pancakes are stacked in a white bowl, with the top pancake having a square pat of melting butter and syrup drizzling down its golden-brown surface, punctuated by dark, juicy blueberries. The pancakes have a soft, fluffy texture with slight crisp edges. A woman's hand holds a spoon cutting into the bottom pancake, revealing more blueberries inside. The bowl rests on a gray cloth over a white marbled surface, with a partial view of another white plate holding more pancakes in the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1+ cup fresh blueberries
More butter for the pan

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the milk and white vinegar and let it sit for a minute or two to create a homemade buttermilk.
Step 2: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Step 3: In another bowl, whisk the egg, the milk-vinegar mixture, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay.
Step 4: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface, which helps create a golden crust.
Step 5: Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, spreading it slightly—it will be thick. Scatter a few blueberries on top.
Step 6: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and fluffy.
Step 7: Serve warm with butter and maple syrup, or enjoy plain for a simple, delicious bite.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, or substitute with frozen ones — just add them directly to the batter without thawing.
For extra fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter; it’s fine if it looks a bit lumpy.
Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for added warmth and aroma.

Storage

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster or a skillet over low heat until heated through, which helps retain their fluffy texture.
