Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes 🍋🥞
🛒 Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 2 tbsp sugar 🍬
- 1 tbsp baking powder ✨
- ¼ tsp salt 🧂
- 1¼ cups milk 🥛
- 1 egg 🥚
- 3 tbsp melted butter 🧈
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌼
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 🫐
- Butter or oil for cooking 🍳

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients 🌾➡️🥣
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
Whisk everything together until evenly mixed. ✨
2️⃣ Prepare the Wet Mixture 🥛🥚
In another bowl, whisk together:
- Milk
- Egg
- Melted butter
- Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth and creamy. 🥄✨
3️⃣ Combine the Batter 🥣➡️💫
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Gently stir until just combined.
⚠️ A few small lumps are perfectly fine — overmixing can make pancakes dense.
Fold in the blueberries carefully so they stay whole and juicy. 🫐💙
4️⃣ Heat the Pan 🍳🔥
Place a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat.
Lightly grease with butter or a little oil.
✨ The pan is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles softly.
5️⃣ Cook the Pancakes 🥞➡️✨
Scoop about ¼ cup batter onto the pan for each pancake.
Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip gently and cook the other side until golden brown and fluffy. 🥞💛
Repeat with the remaining batter.
6️⃣ Stack & Serve 🍯🫐
Stack the warm pancakes on a plate.
Top with:
- Extra blueberries 🫐
- Maple syrup 🍯
- Butter 🧈
- Lemon slices 🍋
Serve warm and enjoy every fluffy bite! ✨🥞
