Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups milk, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tbsp lemon zest, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy. Fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries carefully.
  4. Step 4: Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  5. Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set.

  7. Step 7: Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.
