Forget the boxed mix — these made-from-scratch pancakes are simple, quick, and taste 100x better. Plus, your kitchen will smell like heaven.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for the pan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. The batter should be a little lumpy — don’t overmix! Gently fold in the blueberries.
4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes high, top with extra blueberries, a pat of butter, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. A dusting of powdered sugar makes them extra special.

Tips for the Best Pancakes
- Don’t overmix — a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine!
- Buttermilk makes these pancakes extra tender and gives them a slight tang that pairs beautifully with the berries.
- If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a bit of flour before adding to the batter to prevent color streaking.
- These freeze well! Let them cool, stack with parchment between layers, and freeze in a zip-top bag for easy breakfasts later.
