I realize it’s hard to make the claim “best ever” but no one can argue that homemade buttermilk pancakes are simply the best. The absolute best ever blueberry buttermilk pancake I have ever had was in Woodstock, Vermont. It was AMAZING and loaded with fresh Maine blueberries. That pancake was hard to beat, but this recipe comes very close. I have been using this buttermilk pancake recipe for over 25 years. They are thick and fluffy and never disappoint. Not to mention they are so easy to make.
It’s breakfast for dinner tonight! It’s a very rare occasion to find locally grown blueberries in Utah. These blue gems are so sweet and plump and actually taste like blueberries. My first thought was buttermilk pancakes! That’s why I couldn’t wait for breakfast. I need blueberry buttermilk pancakes tonight.
I really scored at the farmer’s market last weekend. That’s why I decided to top the blueberry pancakes with fresh raspberries and peaches. Heaven!
Let’s make buttermilk pancakes from scratch:
Making buttermilk pancakes from scratch is quicker and easier than you may think. Follow along with these step-by-step photo’s. You’ll find yourself tossing that old box mix in the garbage.
- Gather all of the pancake ingredients together.
- Add flour, sugar, soda, salt, and baking powder in a medium size bowl and whisk together. A sifter can be used as well.
- Beat the eggs.
- Add buttermilk, melted butter, and beaten eggs.
- Mix well with as few as strokes as possible. Batter will be a bit lumpy.
- Stir in 1/2 – 1 cup blueberries and gently stir OR you can just top the pancakes with blueberries. Just make sure to press them into the top of the pancake a bit so they don’t fall out when they are flipped.
- Pour batter onto a hot griddle until golden brown on each side.
- Make them whatever size you want. I like 6-inch size pancakes…for no particular reason. That’s just the size that works on my griddle.
I wanted to this stack of pancakes so you can see how thick and lovely they are.

I’ve used your recipe and loved it for years, but I increase the blueberries to 1 ½ cups and use 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour instead.
Hi Cheryl, I love your added blueberries and wholewheat flour. I definitely try that next time. Sounds amazing and much healthier!
