Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 cups buttermilk room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup fresh strawberries hulled and diced
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined with no lumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy β€” do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the blueberries and diced strawberries into the batter, being careful not to crush the berries or overmix.
  5. Heat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water β€” they should sizzle gently.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle, spacing them 2 inches apart. Cook until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook until the second side is golden brown and the center is cooked through, another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a 200Β°F oven while you finish the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
