Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then stir in buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Ensure butter is cooled.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula just until combined; lumps are okay.
  5. Lightly grease a rimmed 9×13 inch sheet pan or line with parchment paper. Spread batter evenly, smoothing the top to about ½ inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes. Check at 12 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean. Pancakes should be golden with springy tops.
  7. While pancakes bake, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), and water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries burst and sauce thickens, about 8 minutes.
  8. Remove pancakes from oven and let cool 5 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles.
  9. Serve warm topped with blueberry compote.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for smooth batter. Melted butter should be cooled before mixing to avoid cooking eggs. Bake at high temperature (425°F) for fluffy pancakes. If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk. Use frozen blueberries if fresh are unavailable, simmer compote a bit longer. Let pancakes cool slightly on a rack before slicing to prevent sogginess.
