Print Recipe

Light, airy pancakes bursting with fresh blueberries and bright lemon zest, perfect for a cozy breakfast for two. Quick and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1/2 cup (about 75g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; some lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly without bursting.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm while finishing the rest.
  9. Serve immediately with maple syrup, extra blueberries, or powdered sugar as desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Use fresh lemon zest avoiding the white pith to prevent bitterness. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Fold blueberries gently to avoid bleeding color. Adjust heat to medium for even cooking. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if cooking multiple batches. If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk; if too thin, add a pinch more flour.
