No need for an explanation here. Fluffy buttermilk pancakes infused with lemon, a touch of vanilla, and studded with juicy blueberries. Is there any better way to start a Sunday morning? I think not!
You can add a tablespoon of poppy seeds to the batter to make them a lemon poppyseed blueberry variety – my favourite!
Makes 8 pancakes
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp. melted butter
- 2 c. flour (can substitute gluten-free flour)
- ¼ c. sugar
- 2 ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 c. buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- 1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries plus extra for garnish
Directions:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave and cool.
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and add the buttermilk, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest and cooled melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed: do not over mix! It will still look lumpy.
- Heat a griddle or pan with a small amount of vegetable oil on medium heat, pour into pancake shapes of your choice, sprinkle on a handful of blueberries onto each pancake, and flip when the bubbles appear on the top and the bottom is golden brown.
- Enjoy with whatever you like to dress your pancakes with!
Holy cow these are fantastic! I made a homemade buttermilk with lemon juice and whole milk, then used a little less sugar. Unreal. I’ve made these ahead of time for my daughter but am trying not to eat them all myself! Thank you for sharing. These will are wonderful! I will try the next batch with the gluten free flour.
Thanks so much for the feedback Allison I’m happy that you loved them!
These look incredible and I can’t wait to try these for the long weekend. Thanks Tori!
Thanks Natalia!!
This were awesome, they are so fluffy and delicious! My husband loved them. I made them twice this week. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing thanks Darlene!!
I just made these & they are the best pancakes ever! Thanks!
Hi Mona that’s awesome thanks for the feedback!!!
Thanks for this recipe! Second time making them and freezing for my 15month old boy. He LOVES them! Perfect for weekdays and I need something quick. They thaw well!
i do leave the blueberries out and just add fresh ones on top.
Cheers!
I would love to make these, but my son has an egg allergy. Have you tried making with flax eggs?
Hi Melissa, I haven’t but would fear that it would make them too dense. I would actually try just leaving out the egg and seeing what happens!
Good Afternoon 🙂 Would i be able to substitute coconut sugar for the sugar?
Yes you can!
