Ingredients
flour
1 1/4 cups (sifted)
sugar
2 teaspoons (granulated)
baking powder
1 teaspoon (dry)
salt
1/4 teaspoon (fine)
egg
1 (beaten)
buttermilk
1 1/4 cups (room temperature)
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (dry)
unsalted butter
2 tablespoons (melted)
wild blueberries
3/4 cup (small and fresh)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps and even distribution of ingredients.
2
In a separate medium bowl, use a whisk to beat the egg until well combined. Gradually stir in the buttermilk and then the baking soda, mixing until evenly incorporated.
3
Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until the batter is nearly smooth; it's okay if a few lumps remain.
4
Fold in the melted butter and small wild blueberries, taking care not to over-mix as this will keep the pancakes fluffy.
5
Preheat a non-stick griddle over medium heat. Once hot, ladle 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6
Flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown, about another 1-2 minutes.
7
Serve warm topped with Canadian maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream or your favorite toppings.
