Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Maple Butter Topping:
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg until frothy. Add 1 ¼ cups milk, 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Gently fold with a spatula just until combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  4. Carefully fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
  5. In a small bowl, beat ½ cup softened unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until creamy and spreadable. Set aside.
  6. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter or oil.
  7. Using a ¼ cup measure, pour batter onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Stack pancakes on a warm plate, spread a dollop of maple butter on top, and let it melt slowly. Add extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Let the batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking to activate baking powder. Keep the pan at medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Maple butter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge. Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to avoid turning the batter blue.
