Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (see note 1)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk (see note 2)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen (but not thawed, see note 3)
- butter and maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter; mix until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium high heat, greasing if desired (see note 4). Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- When bubbles start to form on the first side, carefully flip and brown the second side. Repeat with remaining batter (you should have about 8 pancakes). Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.

Notes
- Baking powder: This chemical leavener generates bubbles in the pancake batter to help make them light and fluffy.
- Milk: Cow’s milk or any milk alternative, such as cashew, almond, oat, or soy. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
- Blueberries: Either fresh or frozen blueberries will do, but avoid thawing frozen blueberries (they tend to bleed). Stir berries in with a gentle hand to avoid purple streaks as much as possible.
- Oiling the skillet: If you love crispy edges on your pancakes, you’ll want to lightly grease your skillet with oil or butter before adding the batter. If using a non-stick skillet, you can skip the fat and cook the flapjacks in a dry skillet for a smooth, brown surface.
- Yield: This recipe makes about four servings, 2 (4-inch) Blueberry Pancakes each, depending on how big you like you flapjacks. Feel free to multiply the recipe as desired; it doubles and triples beautifully.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
