Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1¾ cups + 2 tablespoons whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Extras
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries (folded into the batter)
- Unsalted butter for cooking (about 1 tbsp per batch)
- Optional: a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil when cooking in skillet to prevent burning
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2: Whisk the Wet Ingredients
- Create a well in the center of your dry mixture and pour in the milk, egg, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk the wet ingredients in the well first before folding them into the dry mix.
Step 3: Fold and Rest
- Gently mix everything together until you get a thick, lumpy batter. Avoid overmixing — lumps are okay!
- Fold in the blueberries, then let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes. This is key to achieving that fluffy texture.
Step 4: Preheat Your Cooking Surface
- Heat a griddle to 350°F or place a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Brush with unsalted butter. If using a skillet, add a little vegetable oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Scoop ⅓ cup of batter onto your hot griddle or pan, giving each pancake space.
- Let them cook untouched for 1–2 minutes. Flip only once you see bubbles on the surface and the edges appear set. The bottom should be golden brown.
Step 6: Finish and Serve
- Cook the flipped side for another minute until golden.
- Serve immediately with your choice of toppings—maple syrup, whipped cream, extra blueberries, powdered sugar, or butter.
Pro Tips & Serving Suggestions
- Serve with turkey bacon or golden scrambled eggs for the full RoyaleEats brunch experience.
- Let the batter rest to help the gluten relax and create fluffy texture.
- Use room temperature milk and egg for best results.
- Make a double batch and freeze extras for busy weekday mornings.
