• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups milk (room temperature)
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk milk and egg together.

How to Make

• Sprinkle blueberries over the pancake while the first side cooks.
• Cook until bubbles appear and edges look set.
• Flip gently and cook the second side for 1–2 minutes until golden.
• Remove from pan and repeat with remaining batter.
Variations
• Lemon Blueberry: Add lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon juice for a fresh citrus flavor.
• Buttermilk Pancakes: Replace milk with buttermilk and add ½ teaspoon baking soda.
• Whole Wheat: Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste.
• Vanilla Touch: Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra aroma.
Tips
• Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
• Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer—do not thaw.
• Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside.
