- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

How to Make It
Step 1: Make the Buttermilk
In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to create a homemade buttermilk—this is the secret to ultra fluffy pancakes.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
Add the egg, melted butter, and prepared buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. The batter should be thick with a few lumps.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Let it melt and coat the surface.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet. Gently spread slightly if needed. Add blueberries on top of the batter.
Step 6: Flip at the Right Time
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Stack the pancakes, add butter, drizzle syrup if desired—or enjoy them plain for the ultimate fluffy experience.
Pro Tips
- Do not overmix the batter—this keeps pancakes fluffy
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning
- Add blueberries on top instead of mixing for even distribution
- Let batter rest 2–3 minutes for extra fluffiness
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overmixing the batter, which can make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy
- Cooking over heat that is too high, which can brown the outside before the inside is fully cooked
- Adding too many blueberries directly into the batter, which can make them unevenly distributed
- Flipping the pancakes too early before bubbles form and the edges begin to set
- Skipping the butter in the pan, which helps create that golden brown crust
Why This Recipe Works
- The milk and vinegar create a homemade buttermilk that helps make the pancakes extra tender and fluffy
- The combination of baking powder and baking soda gives the pancakes their thick, sky-high rise
- Using a thick batter helps create soft, fluffy pancakes instead of thin ones
- Placing the blueberries on top while cooking helps distribute them more evenly
- Cooking in a buttered pan adds flavor and creates a beautiful golden crust
