Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a uniform mixture.
- In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk egg, milk, and melted butter until thoroughly integrated and slightly frothy.
- Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; maintain a slightly lumpy texture without overmixing.
- Delicately incorporate fresh blueberries into the pancake batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle to medium heat (around 375°F), lightly coating the surface with a thin layer of butter.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake, allowing sufficient space between them.
- Monitor pancakes closely; when small bubbles emerge across the surface and edges appear slightly firm (roughly 2-3 minutes), carefully flip them.
- Cook the opposite side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-brown color and ensuring complete internal cooking.
- Transfer pancakes to serving plates, presenting them warm with preferred accompaniments like maple syrup, additional blueberries, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy, as stirring too much develops gluten and creates tough, dense pancakes.
- Freeze fresh blueberries before adding to prevent color bleeding and maintain pancake’s beautiful appearance during cooking.
- Use room temperature ingredients like eggs and milk to ensure even mixing and consistent pancake texture, helping batter blend smoothly.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour, which adds nutty flavor and provides alternative dietary options.
