With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes, these homemade pancakes can be whipped up for a quick breakfast or a fast weekday breakfast-for-dinner.
Ingredients
- All purpose flour: Be sure to properly measure the flour. Either weigh it or sift/stir it to break it up. Lightly spoon into the measuring cup and level.
- Granulated sugar
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Sour cream: Regular or lite sour cream will work. Plain Greek yogurt (whole milk, 2%, or nonfat) will also work.
- Milk: Any milk from skim milk to whole milk will work. Whole milk will give you slightly richer, more tender pancakes.
- Large eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh blueberries
- Butter: The butter is used to coat the pan.
How to make blueberry pancakes
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until combined.
Step 2: Add the sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Whisk together until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 3: Fold ½ cup blueberries in just until incorporated.
Step 4: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add butter, and melt.
Step 5: Spoon the pancake batter into the pan to make 3 or 4 pancakes. Sprinkle blueberries over the top.
Step 6: Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles rise and pop. The edges should look drier and set.
Step 7: Flip the pancakes, and then cook for another minute or until lightly browned.
Step 8: Repeat with additional batches to use the remaining butter, blueberries, and batter.
