Expert Tips

• For the best flavor and texture, use fresh ingredients, including ripe blueberries and fresh baking powder.
• Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
• Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking. This helps the flour fully hydrate and the baking powder to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
• Don’t press down on the pancakes with a spatula while they’re cooking. This can make them dense instead of fluffy.
