Recipe FAQs
Flip the pancakes when bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side on medium heat.
If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a bit more flour.

Expert Tips
- For the best flavor and texture, use fresh ingredients, including ripe blueberries and fresh baking powder.
- Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking. This helps the flour fully hydrate and the baking powder to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Don’t press down on the pancakes with a spatula while they’re cooking. This can make them dense instead of fluffy.
