Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 3/4 cup milk and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined — batter will be lumpy.
- Step 3: Fold in 1/2 cup fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
- Step 4: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on surface and edges look set.
- Step 5: Flip pancakes and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter for a total of 4 pancakes (half-stack).
- Step 6: Mix 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 1 tbsp pure maple syrup until smooth. Serve pancakes warm topped with maple butter.
