Ingredients
Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest if using. This will enhance the flavor and give the pancakes a delightful touch.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes hot with a drizzle of maple syrup and additional blueberries on top for that perfect breakfast flair.
