Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) buttermilk (or milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease your sheet pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and fragrant.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula. Do not overmix; some streaks of flour are okay.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a handful to scatter on top.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved blueberries on top.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  8. Let the pancake rest for 5 minutes on a cooling rack before slicing into squares. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and dairy for better texture. Toss frozen blueberries in flour before folding in to prevent sinking and color bleeding. You can prepare batter the night before and add baking soda and lemon juice just before baking for best rise. Tent with foil if browning too fast. For gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond or oat milk plus vinegar and butter with coconut oil.
