Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

These Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes are slightly sweet with a hint of vanilla and the amazing flavor burst of fresh blueberries!. This is one the entire family will want over and over again. While I adore pancakes for breakfast or brunch my favorite time of day to have pancakes is for dinner. Perhaps it's because of the comfort factor that makes them perfect to soothe the soul after a hectic day.

Easy Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

When making pancakes from scratch there are a couple of things to know:

• Ingredients you'll need to make this recipe for Blueberry Pancakes:  All purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, large eggs, butter, vanilla extract and vegetable oil for frying.
• You don't have to use a griddle to make pancakes, any large heavy bottomed skillet or pan will do.
• After whipping up the batter allow it to sit on the counter and rest for 10-15 minutes so the baking powder can activate and give the pancakes a more fluffy texture.
• You could add lemon zest to the batter for a citrus twist and you could also replace the buttermilk with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, if desired. When doing so, the pancake batter will change in texture and you may need to add a small amount of milk to thin. You'll have to make that call in real time.
• You can fry these fluffy pancakes in butter or vegetable oil, but my preference is a mixture of both.
• Rule of thumb to keep in mind is 1 tablespoon butter to 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. This combination gives the pancakes a crisp golden crust around the edges and the scrumptious taste of butter, too.
• It's best to only flip pancakes once, so regulate the temperature of the pan keeping it around medium to medium high.
• How do you know when they're ready to turn? You eyeball it, Wait to flip the blueberry pancakes until you see bubbles all throughout the batter and the edges look dry when gently lifted. Use a large spatula and gently flip it over to brown the other side.

How to Make the Best Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

How to you serve pancakes? Have plenty of pure maple syrup and softened butter nearby for serving and treat your family to a pancake feast any time of day. More tips:

• You'll note that you don't add the blueberries to the big bowl of pancake batter. Instead, sprinkle the berries over the batter in the pan or skillet in the amount that suits you. Don't go crazy, remember you can always serve more on the side.
• If you aren't using a griddle and making these pancakes in smaller batches, keep the pancakes warm between each batch on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a 200°F oven.
• You can store cooked pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave in single servings.
