How to Make Blueberry Pancakes with Buttermilk
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients: 3 cups buttermilk, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup melter butter, then add the flour mixture to the batter and stir until just combined.
Then add: 1 cup fresh blueberries and 1 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter. Stir carefully, just until combined.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium heat to medium-low heat and spray it with cooking spray. Use a 3/4-cup measuring cup to scoop the pancake batter onto the hot skillet.
The batter will be very thick, so use the back of a spoon to shape each pancake into a circle (or whichever shape you wish).
When bubbles begin to form, flip the pancake with a spatula and cook until the batter is no longer runny and outsides are golden brown. I actually had to perform the toothpick test on a few of these due to major fluffiness.
Serve warm, with butter and maple syrup!
Recipe Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter!
- Omit the chocolate chips and blueberries for a more fluffy buttermilk pancake recipe.
- Replace the chips and berries with apple slices, bananas or toffee bits.
- Make a batch of pancakes to eat now and freeze some for later!
How to Make Buttermilk
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, make your own by combining 1 cup of milk with EITHER 1 tablespoon of lemon juice OR 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until small curdles stick to a spoon.

FAQ About Buttermilk
Buttermilk is made by combining 1 Tbsp of lemon juice (or white vinegar) and 1 cup of milk in a small bowl. Mix well and let sit 5-10 minutes, or until mixture begins to curdle.
Buttermilk can be frozen and freezes very well. Freeze in 1 cup portions so it is easy to thaw and use in a recipe.
Store-bought buttermilk will last in the fridge for 2 weeks and homemade buttermilk will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. A super lumpy texture, discoloration and a sour smell are indications that it is spoiled.
Use milk as a replacement for buttermilk only in a pinch. The end result will be a less fluffy baked good. The buttermilk helps baked goods and pancakes to fluff beautifully and perfectly, use it when it is called for in a recipe.
Buttermilk is a common ingredient in pancakes and baked goods to give them an extra fluffy texture. It can also be used to tenderize meat before cooking it or to make salad dressings extra tangy and creamy.
