sour cream
1/2 cup

Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2
In a separate bowl, beat the egg until frothy. Then, mix in the sour cream and melted butter until smooth.
3
Gradually stir in the milk to the sour cream mixture, ensuring all components are combined.
4
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened—be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
5
Gently fold in the floured blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.
6
Preheat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat (around 360°F for an electric griddle). To test, drop a few drops of water on the surface; when they dance, the griddle is ready.
7
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges appear dry, about 2-3 minutes.
8
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and continue to cook until the second side is golden-brown, about another 2 minutes.

Serve warm with Maine blueberry syrup or a drizzle of honey for an irresistible finish.
