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 1/4 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, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy. Add a few drops of blue food coloring if using, and stir gently.
3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; batter should be slightly lumpy. Fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
6. Step 6: Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Once all pancakes are cooked, use white icing to pipe snowflake shapes on top.
7. Step 7: Dust pancakes lightly with powdered sugar to resemble freshly fallen snow and serve immediately.
