The pancakes have a hint of lemon in them and they're light and fluffy. The batter is also a bit on the thicker side. It is a great base pancake mix if you leave out the lemon zest and blueberries!

Tips for Pancakes

A whole stick of butter isn’t necessary for cooking the pancakes. You can use a cooking spray or half the amount of butter.

Sub Greek Yogurt for sour cream

If you don’t eat all these pancakes up at once, they freeze well for the next day or whenever you feel like eating them.

Ingredients Needed

All-purpose flour - is a type of wheat flour that is commonly used in cooking and baking. It is versatile and can be used for a variety of recipes, including bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries.
Sugar - Or regular granulated sugar, I do not use sugar substitutes in any of my recipes but if you know the conversions feel free to do so
Baking powder - is a leavening agent used in many baked goods, such as cakes, muffins, and biscuits. It is made up of a combination of baking soda, cream of tartar, and sometimes cornstarch.
Baking soda - also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a white crystalline powder that is commonly used in baking as a leavening agent
Salt - to taste
Eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
Milk, plus more if needed - Dairy does not like me at all so I go for a lactose free milk such as Fairlife. It also has more protein in it.
Sour cream - can sub Greek Yogurt
Butter, melted - Unsalted butter is the most commonly used type of butter in baking, as it allows for more control over the amount of salt in the recipe.
Vanilla extract - It is made by macerating and soaking vanilla beans in a mixture of water and Vodka. Use a good pure vanilla instead of the imitation vanilla extract.
Frozen blueberries
Lemon zest - This adds a nice burst of citrus flavor

How to make Blueberry Pancakes

See and print the full recipe below.

Combine dry ingredients: Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Combine wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add the milk, sour cream, half the melted butter and the vanilla, whisking to blend. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the egg mixture into it. Whisk the ingredients together just until blended. Fold the blueberries and lemon zest into the batter.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with some of the remaining melted butter. For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the hot skillet.

Cook 3 or 4 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of the skillet. If the batter seems too thick, thin it with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk. When bubbles begin to form and "pop" on the pancake's surface, after about 1 minute, and the outer edge looks done, flip it over and cook briefly for about 30 seconds on the other side.
