FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Do you have to use buttermilk in pancakes?

Technically no you do not have to use buttermilk but using buttermilk in this Blueberry Pancake Recipe really makes them richer and gives a greater depth of flavor. You can use any milk that you like or you can make your own buttermilk. To do that take the 2 cups milk that you have on hand and add 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice, stir and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. Stir again and then use it in your recipe.

Can I use gluten-free flour?

Absolutely, you can swap gluten free flour with all-purpose flour 1:1 in this recipe.

Is it better to use fresh or frozen blueberries in pancakes?

Both are absolutely fine. They both will give you the same flavor. It’s not always easy to find fresh blueberries that are in season and frozen blueberries are frozen at the peak of freshness. So if blueberries aren’t in season, use frozen. They do not need to be thawed but my only recommendation. would be to top them onto the pancakes when you put the batter into the skillet. This will keep them from sinking all to one side.

Are blueberries still healthy in pancakes?

Blueberries do not lose their healthiness throughout the pancake cooking process. They are full of antioxidants which makes them a wonderful and healthy addition to your baked goods!

Can you freeze blueberry pancakes

Yes. I would flash freeze them first. Lay the cooled pancakes out individually on a tray and put in the freezer for about 45 minutes to an hour. Then remove and you can easily stack them in a freezer safe bag and they won’t stick together. They will keep for up to 3 months. To defrost, remove to refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the microwave.
