Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For Serving

  • Butter and maple syrup

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl. Stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are okay.
  • Fold in blueberries carefully to minimize bursting.

Cooking

  • Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set.
  • Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

  • Serve warm with butter and maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter. If you want thicker pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you cook the rest.
