Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) buttermilk, well-shaken
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, beaten egg, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be lumpy without visible flour.
  4. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries to avoid bursting them.
  5. Preheat skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet; cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  7. Flip gently and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. While pancakes cook, combine brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir until sugar dissolves.
  9. Bring to a simmer, then add bourbon, vanilla extract, and butter; stir until butter melts and syrup thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  10. Remove syrup from heat.
  11. Stack pancakes on plates, drizzle generously with warm bourbon syrup, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; use room temperature ingredients; preheat pan properly; fold blueberries gently to avoid bursting; add bourbon near the end of syrup cooking to preserve flavor; keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a big batch.
