Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the egg until it is smooth and slightly frothy. Add in the milk and vegetable oil, then whisk together until thoroughly blended. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. -
Add Blueberries:
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. This ensures they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart. -
Cooking the Pancakes:
- Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 1-2 minutes.
- Adjust heat as needed to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
-
Serving:
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and serve warm. These pancakes are delicious on their own or topped with maple syrup, additional blueberries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for Success
- Flour Measurement: When measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Avoid packing the flour into the cup.
- Gentle Mixing: Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Stir the batter just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, toss them lightly in flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pancakes.
