"These pancakes are incredibly thick and cloud-like, thanks to a careful balance of buttermilk and leavening agents. Topped with a warm, lemon-infused blueberry compote, they offer a perfect harmony of sweetness and tang in every bite."

1 Ingredients

Qty Item
2 cups All-purpose flour
2 tbsp Granulated sugar
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
2 cups Buttermilk
2 pieces Large eggs
4 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tbsp Lemon juice

2 Instructions

1

Prepare the compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until berries burst and the sauce thickens; set aside.

2

Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3

Mix wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4

Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are necessary for fluffiness.

5

Rest: Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the buttermilk to react with the leavening agents.

6

Cook: Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake.

7

Flip: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes).

8

Serve: Stack the pancakes and top generously with the warm blueberry compote.


๐Ÿ’ก Tips & Tricks

  • ยท

    Do not overmix the batter; over-mixing develops gluten which makes pancakes tough instead of fluffy.

  • ยท

    Ensure your buttermilk and eggs are at room temperature to prevent the melted butter from curdling.

  • ยท

    Use a cast-iron griddle for the most even heat distribution and a perfect golden-brown crust.

  • ยท

    If you don't have buttermilk, mix 2 cups of milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes.


? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries for the compote?
Yes, frozen blueberries work perfectly. You may just need to simmer them for 2-3 extra minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
How do I know when to flip the pancakes?
Flip when the bubbles on the surface of the batter begin to pop and the edges look matte and dry.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It's best to cook the batter within 30 minutes. If it sits too long, the leavening agents lose their power and the pancakes won't be as fluffy.
How should I store leftovers?
Store cooked pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster for the best texture.
