Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (310ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; small lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour ¼ cup batter onto skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack or plate in a warm oven (200°F / 95°C) to keep warm while cooking the rest.
  8. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes. Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  9. Transfer whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe stars over pancakes just before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Add frozen blueberries directly to the batter to prevent color bleeding. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Serve pancakes immediately for best texture. Leftovers can be stored with parchment paper between pancakes and reheated gently.
