- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 3 tbsp sugar

Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- Separate the eggs and put the egg whites in a medium glass or stainless steel mixing bowl. Put the egg yolks in a small bowl and set aside.2 large eggs
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour | 1 1/2 tsp baking powder | 1/2 tsp baking soda | 3 tbsp sugar | 3/4 tsp salt
- In a medium bowl, combine the reserved egg yolks with the milk, buttermilk, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.1/2 cup milk | 1/2 cup buttermilk | 3 tbsp butter
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until no large dry pockets remain. Don't overmix.
- Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until blended, then fold in the blueberries. The batter should be thick but still pourable. It should flow off a spoon in a thick ribbon and spread slightly on the griddle. If the batter seems too thick, gently fold in a little more milk.
- Grease a griddle or skillet and place it over medium heat.Butter or oil for the pan
- Pour the pancake batter onto the pan in 1/4-cup portions and cook until bubbles are popping over the top and the edges appear dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes over and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer, until the underside is golden brown.
Tip: Avoid overmixing, as it can deflate the airy beaten eggs and make the pancakes tough and dense.
