Ingredient Notes
- Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use whole or 2% milk and add two tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice.

- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen.
Other ingredients
- Sugar
- Butter
- Eggs
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
- Vanilla
- Salt
Expert Tips
- You can fold the blueberries into the batter before cooking. Or, you can sprinkle them on top once you pour the batter onto the skillet.
- You can replace the fresh blueberries with frozen blueberries.
- To make fluffy pancakes, always use buttermilk and do NOT over mix the batter.
- Using buttermilk in this recipe gives it that distinctive, classic pancake taste. The slight acidity helps leaven the batter and makes sure there aren’t any lumps. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use regular milk and add one tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice for each cup of buttermilk the recipe calls for.
- Use butter to grease the pan before cooking for the best texture and flavor.
- Keep the pancakes warm while cooking by storing the finished pancakes on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Storage: Store the pancakes on a covered plate in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pancakes and reheat just prior to serving.
- Toppings: Serve the pancakes with butter, maple syrup, chocolate chips, or a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.
