This small batch blueberry pancakes recipe makes just enough pancakes for two. They’re fluffy and delicious like your favorite diner pancakes!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk*
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. In a measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  3. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Whisk together until just combined; the mixture will be pretty thick and there will be some lumps, but there should be no dry flour remaining.
  4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is hot and lightly bubbling, scoop a few pancakes onto the pan, using about 1/3 cup of batter for each. Spread out the batter into round-ish pancake shapes and scatter a few blueberries over the top of each.
  5. Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is golden-brown and small bubbles are forming on the top. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve warm with plenty of maple syrup and more butter, if desired.

Notes

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by combining 1 cup + 2 tablespoons of milk (ideally 2% or whole milk) with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar. Whisk them together, then set the mixture aside to curdle for a few minutes before using in place of the buttermilk.
