The Secret to Fluffy Pancakes!

My sister shared this buttermilk blueberry pancake recipe with me a few years ago and it’s the only one that anyone in my family uses! This recipe yields the most amazing, the most fluffy and delicious pancakes you’ll ever have! The secret is the buttermilk. It reacts with the baking soda and baking powder, causing the batter to rise significantly when it’s cooking.

Homemade Buttermilk Recipe

If you don’t have buttermilk, don’t fret! You can improvise with 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Just add the vinegar to the milk and let it stand for about 5 minutes. The vinegar will cause the milk to sour and voila, you have homemade buttermilk! Use this ‘buttermilk’ for cakes, pancakes or waffles!

How to Make Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes

Here’s how I make these incredible and delicious pancakes!

If you’re making a homemade buttermilk, combine the milk and vinegar and let it stand for 5 minutes, allowing the milk to “sour”. Once soured, whisk together the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
Next, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients into the batter until no clumps remain. For a thinner batter consistency, adjust by adding a few tablespoons of milk.
Fold in the blueberries next.
Let the batter stand for about 5 minutes prior to using. This will allow the baking powder, baking soda and vinegar to start reacting, giving you fluffier pancakes. Preheat to medium heat a pancake griddle or large frying pan, sprayed with nonstick spray.
Make some pancakes, size is up to your discretion! I like to make medium-sized pancakes. Cook them for 1 ½ to 2 minutes on the first side, until the edges start turning golden brown and air bubbles break the surface. Turn and cook the pancakes on the other side until golden brown.
Serve these blueberry pancakes hot with maple syrup and salted butter!
