Equipment

1 Medium-mixing bowl
1 Measuring cup or small bowl
1 Cast iron pan or griddle
1/4 cup measuring cup

Ingredients

Dry Mix:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cups fine cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Mix:

1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 cup fresh or *frozen blueberries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Place a baking sheet in the oven. This is where we’re going to put the pancakes once they’re done cooking so they stay warm.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a measuring cup or small bowl, measure out the buttermilk. Whisk in the egg, melted butter and honey until smooth.
Preheat your cast iron pan or griddle over medium heat. When warm, brush with a teaspoon or two of oil or butter. (I favor oil because it doesn’t burn but man does butter taste good.)
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until you no longer see any speckles of flour. Be sure not to overmix—this will result in tough pancakes. Add the blueberries and fold into the batter. Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop circles of batter onto your skillet. Don’t be shy to take your spatula and help shape the pancakes into circles.
Cook in batches, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the pancakes to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and pats of butter.

Notes

*If you decide to use frozen blueberries, allow them to thaw completely before using.

Tips and Tricks

DO NOT OVER MIX. When you over mix the batter you get flat tough pancakes. For tall fluffy pancakes, make sure you mix just until it comes together.
Keep them warm in an oven. Nobody wants a cold pancake, keep them in a warm oven until you’re ready to serve them.
When using frozen blueberries make sure to allow them to thaw completely before adding them to the batter, that way you won’t end up with soggy pancakes.
Don’t use butter to cook the pancakes. Butter tastes amazing but it burns easily, use vegetable oil then serve with plenty of butter!
Ran out of buttermilk? Use whole milk with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white distilled vinegar. Give the mixture a stir then allow it to sit for 5 minutes until it starts to look a little “curdled” then proceed with the recipe.
