🥞 Fluffy Pancakes with Blueberry Compote
Soft, light, and perfectly fluffy pancakes topped with a sweet and juicy blueberry compote — perfect for breakfast or brunch!
📝 Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for the pan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Blueberry Compote:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (you can also use frozen)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined — don’t overmix! It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
2. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. Make the Blueberry Compote:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and maple syrup.
- Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down slightly and the mixture thickens into a compote.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. It will thicken more as it cools.
4. Serve:
- Stack the warm pancakes on a plate and generously spoon the blueberry compote on top.
- Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream, extra butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra indulgence!
💡 Tips:
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
- You can add lemon zest to the compote for a fresh twist.
- These pancakes freeze well — just reheat in the toaster or microwave.
