This is my favorite blueberry pancake recipe. The pancakes turn out tender, light, and fluffy. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in our recipe. In the recipe’s first step, we mix milk and vinegar (or lemon juice), which mimics buttermilk. The acid reacts with baking soda, making our pancakes light and fluffy. Instead of mixing the milk and acid, you can substitute buttermilk. Or, if you would prefer to use baking powder, we’ve provided tips in the notes section below.
