Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter fluffy.
- Assemble the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Pour half of the pancake batter evenly into the dish, then sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the blueberries, spreading gently to cover them partially.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The casserole should be cooked through but remain moist and tender.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with maple syrup, additional fresh blueberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Frozen blueberries can be used but do not thaw before adding to maintain texture and prevent excess moisture.
- To add extra flavor, sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract into the pancake batter.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and light.
