Best Blueberry Pancakes
ingredients
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk (or buttermilk is great too, if you have it)
3 Tbsp. melted butter or vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 cup fresh blueberries (* or frozen, see note below)
method
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a small bowl, beat egg thoroughly then add milk (or buttermilk) and combine thoroughly.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and slowly add the egg-milk mixture. Add the melted butter and vanilla. Stir quickly until ingredients are just mixed and batter is still lumpy in appearance.
Drop by 1/4 cupfuls on medium-hot pancake griddle or non-stick pan. Sprinkle with fresh blueberries. Cook pancakes until they are filled with bubbles and the under-side in golden brown. Turn and brown the other side.
Serve with butter, maple syrup and a dusting of icing sugar.
* You can use frozen blueberries. I like to run them under warm water to thaw them slightly before adding to pancakes. I don't add the fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter while preparing as I have an aversion to purple pancakes! :) Much easier to sprinkle them on top of the pancake when they start cooking and it's easier to spread them out nicely, as well.

Thank you! I agree this is the best. I have an old Five Roses cookbook and the page with this recipe has gone astray. I'm so glad to see it here.

This is the first time I've ever made pancakes. My husband and I both loved this recipe as they are very light and fluffy. I liked it because it was easy. Delicious!

So glad you enjoyed them! We've been enjoying them with all the fresh blueberries available right now, too.

How many pancakes does this recipe make?
Sarah on October 4, 2009 12:54 PM
I tried this recipe and it made 8 medium-sized ones for me. Very good recipe, will definitely make again :]

Good, except a little too sweet for our taste. We used frozen blueberries that weren't thawed and they cooked fine - and didn't turn the batter purple.

The blueberry variation of these pancakes calls for extra sugar. The basic pancake recipe calls for only 3 Tbsp. of sugar, so you might try that, next time. My experience with frozen blueberries (especially the large ones) is that they don't thaw enough just from cooking, that's why I tend to give them a head-start.

Loved this recipe! My husband was very impressed!

Glad you (and your husband :) enjoyed them, Teran.

Yum! I used brown sugar, and was lucky enough to have the most incredible, plump, fresh blueberries on hand. This was the perfect recipe. I ended up with 10 nice sized pancakes and one little one (the runt!). They cooked evenly and were a lovely color. Scrumptious!! Thank you.

We just finished having these pancakes for breakfast and they were fantastic! Light and fluffy and the batch size was perfect for our family of 3. We used huge cultivated blueberries that just popped with juice in the pancakes. Will definitely be keeping this recipe in our files.

So glad you enjoyed them Hollis and Johanne. Brown sugar sounds like a nice variation, Hollis. Getting hungry for pancakes just writing this :)

They taste like pure baking soda. I feel like 3 tsp is way too much.
Lauren on November 24, 2010 11:16 AM
Hi Lauren. The recipe calls for baking powder not baking soda. I think you'll find them fine if you make that correction.

Scoured the internet for a pancake recipe and came to this one after all the others called for beating egg whites until stiff....way to much work. I too was surprised at the amount of sugar but it was nice change. as for the blueberries I too used frozen and they were fine but fresh would of been great. Overall my boyfirend and I like this recipe very much and will used it again.

Delicious! Easy and fast, my first pancakes:)
Usually I make crepes sweet or savory but

I had a bit of whole wheat flour and replace reg
Milk with vanilla soy milk, excellent! Thanks

Great recipe! I love pancakes and always look for new recipes and this one was perfect! Not too eggy or too sweet. Loved it.
