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.
Pancake Making Tips
When making pancakes from scratch there are a couple of things to know. First, 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. Also, you can fry pancakes in butter or vegetable oil but my preference is a mixture of both. Rule of thumb is 1 Tbsp butter to 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil. It 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. Wait to turn when you see bubbles all throughout the batter and the edges look dry when gently lifted.
More Helpful Hints
Sprinkle the berries over the batter 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 batches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a 200°F oven. Have plenty of pure maple syrup and softened butter nearby for serving and treat your family to a pancake feast any time of day.
