Fluffiest Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 + cup fresh blueberries
• more butter for the pan

Steps

1. To make the “buttermilk,” combine the milk and vinegar and leave them to stand for a minute or two.
2. Make a dry mixture by whisking the dry ingredients together, then whisk the egg, the milk mixture and melted butter into it just until combined.
3. Let a nonstick pan heat over medium heat, then melt a little smear of butter in it. The butter is essential for the golden brown crust.
4. Pour about 1/3 cup of the fairly thick batter into the hot skillet and flatten it by spreading it out. Set a few blueberries on the upper surface. Continue cooking until little bubbles form on top and the edges begin to firm up. Turn it over, then cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are very tall, fluffy and cooked all the way through.
5. Serve them with butter and maple syrup, or enjoy them plain as the author sometimes prefers.
