Ingredients

  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk , room temperature
  • 1 large egg , room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until emulsified.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold gently using a spatula until just combined; the batter should remain lumpy to prevent gluten over-development.
  • Heat a non-stick griddle or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat with butter or neutral oil.
  • Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, ensuring adequate spacing.
  • Distribute a small handful of blueberries onto the surface of each pancake while the batter is still wet.
  • Cook until the surface shows active bubbling and the edges appear set and matte, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully using a wide spatula and cook the reverse side until golden brown and the center is fully set, approximately 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer to a wire rack or warm plate and serve immediately.
