HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY PANCAKES-
- Mix dry ingredients– Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, then set aside.
- Whisk wet ingredients– In a bowl, whisk together sugar, milk, lemon juice, egg, and cooled melted butter until well combined.
- Combine wet and dry– Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until combined, but still a little lumpy. You don’t want to overmix the batter.
- Add blueberries– With a spatula, gently fold in the blueberries.
- Cook pancakes– In a skillet, cook the pancakes until crispy and golden.
- Serve pancakes– Top the pancakes with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
| CHEF’S TIP– For faster cook time use two skillets to get all pancakes cooking at the same time. We also love using THIS griddle with the lid of a mason jar as molds. |
TOPPING IDEAS-

- Fresh fruit
- Whipped cream
- Classic maple syrup
- Butter

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-
Yes, These are great with frozen berries too! You do not need to thaw them.
If you don’t want to use blueberries, you can substitute them for raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries!
Just prepare the batter and store in the fridge until ready to use, make the batter the night before and all you need to do is cook them in the morning!
Once the pancakes begin to bubble, you know they are ready to be flipped.
FREEZE- These blueberry pancakes are wonderful to freeze. Once the pancakes have cooled, transfer them to a freezer bag and freeze.
Reheat in the oven, microwave, or toaster oven until warmed.
For thick pancakes, use mason lid bands as molds. Pour batter into the bands and when you flip the pancake remove the lid.
