Notes

  • Buttermilk: Most importantly, the buttermilk helps to activate our baking soda, however, it also adds acidity and necessary moisture to our pancakes which would usually come from milk in standard pancakes. It is recommended to use proper buttermilk here as this has the appropriate cultures needed for the recipe. Though you can absolutely replace with homemade here.
  • Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries that have been slightly defrosted in lukewarm water will both work, though you could replace with raspberries or blackberries, if you prefer.
  • Heavy based frying pan: A heavy based frying pan will heat well and keep the heat, even on a low temperature to make those outer edges golden and resulting in fluffy pancakes.
