Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar to make buttermilk)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (and a little extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions
 

Prep the Buttermilk: If using regular milk, mix the milk and vinegar in a bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. If using lemon zest, add it here.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix – lumps are okay!

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease it with a small amount of butter.

              Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.

                Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy.

                  Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with additional blueberries and whipped cream, if desired.
