Fluffy buttermilk blueberry pancakes topped with a tangy lemon butter spread, perfect for a cozy brunch or special morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Lemon Butter Topping:
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in blueberries gently, adding frozen blueberries straight from the freezer if using.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate leavening agents.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with melted butter.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet; cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
  8. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. While pancakes cook, combine softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and salt; whip until smooth.
  10. Serve pancakes stacked with a dollop of lemon butter topping; add extra blueberries or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Rest batter for 5 minutes before cooking. Cook on medium heat and flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. Lemon butter topping can be made ahead and stored in fridge.
