How to Make It
Making these Blueberry Pancakes is as simple as mixing, flipping, and enjoying! Here’s an overview to guide you through the process.
First, we’ll start with a simple batter made from pantry staples like flour, baking powder, eggs, and milk. The key to getting that signature fluffiness? A generous amount of baking powder and gently folding the batter—overmixing can lead to dense pancakes, and we don’t want that!
Next, it’s all about the blueberries. Fresh or frozen both work beautifully, but if you’re using frozen, don’t forget to toss them in a little flour to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
Finally, cook them on a hot griddle or skillet until golden brown, flipping only once (patience is key here!). Serve them warm with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, butter, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Make Ahead Method
Got a busy morning ahead? No worries—these pancakes are super make-ahead friendly!
- Refrigerate the Batter: You can mix the pancake batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just remember to give it a gentle stir before cooking.
- Freeze the Pancakes: Cook a batch of pancakes, let them cool completely, and freeze them in a single layer. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or microwave, and they’ll taste freshly made!
- Blueberries on the Side: If you’re worried about soggy pancakes, you can sprinkle the blueberries directly onto the batter once it’s on the griddle instead of mixing them in.
Pro Tips
Want to make the best blueberry pancakes of your life? Here are a few tricks to ensure pancake perfection:
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until the flour disappears. Lumps are okay! Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your milk and eggs sit out for 10-15 minutes before mixing. This helps the batter come together smoothly and makes fluffier pancakes.
- Use Fresh Blueberries for Extra Juiciness: If you’re using frozen, don’t thaw them. Toss them with a little flour to avoid streaking the batter.
- Cook Low and Slow: Use medium heat so the pancakes cook evenly without burning. Look for those little bubbles on top before flipping!
- Make It Extra Special: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a subtle flavor boost.
Storage
Pancakes are perfect for storing and reheating—here’s how to keep them fresh:
- Refrigerator: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or toaster.
- Freezer: Freeze pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 months.
- Reheating Tips: To bring frozen pancakes back to life, pop them in the toaster for crispy edges or microwave them for about 20-30 seconds.
