Lemon Blueberry Pancakes Recipe
These light and fluffy Lemon and Blueberry Pancakes are a great way to start the day and so easy to make. The pancake batter can even be made the night before and the cooked pancakes reheat great.
Servings: 20 pancakes
Calories: 145kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Tablespoons Baking Powder
- 1½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1½ teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 cups Buttermilk
- ⅓ cup Butter melted and cooled, plus more for frying pancakes
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 medium Lemon juiced
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
- 1½ cups Blueberries fresh or frozen*
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk well.
- In a large measuring cup, combine the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk to break up the eggs.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. Carefully fold in the lemon zest and blueberries just until combined. Set the pancake batter aside. (Note: You don't want to overmix - the mixture should still be a little lumpy.)
- Heat a pan or nonstick griddle over medium heat, then add about 1 tablespoon of butter to grease the pan.
- For each pancake, pour about ⅓ cup batter onto the hot griddle and let it spread out into a 4" round pancake. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to cook up to 3 at a time.)
- Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are beginning to look cooked, or about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes, using a spatula, and continue to cook the other side until golden and cooked through, or about 1 minute more.
- Repeat this process with remaining batter. Serve pancakes with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
*If you're using frozen blueberries, toss the frozen blueberries in about 2 Tablespoons of flour before adding them to the pancake batter.
