Blueberry & Lemon American Pancakes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These Blueberry & Lemon American Pancakes are so light and fluffy. They’re packed with deliciously sweet blueberries which along with the lemon give these pancakes a lovely fresh taste. 

American Pancakes are my favourite type of pancakes because I love their thick fluffiness. I’m also unfortunately not gifted in the art of making crepe style pancakes so American pancakes are definitely my go-to.

I absolutely love blueberries and obviously blueberry pancakes aren’t a new invention at all, but I wanted to adapt my Thick & Fluffy American Pancakes recipe to incorporate them.

I can’t actually remember if I have eaten a blueberry pancake before, but I knew how I wanted them to taste. The addition of the lemon compliments the blueberries really nicely and gives them a fresh taste.

I love how when you’re eating the pancakes and the blueberries burst, the delicious juices create their very own sauce.

These pancakes are delicious as they are, but if like Mr Curly you like some extra sweetness, I recommend drizzling over some golden or maple syrup.

I read somewhere years ago that your first pancake will always turn out a little less than perfect. This does always seem to be the case with me.

My first pancake tends to be a little dark or I get too eager and try to flip it too soon. So don’t panic if this happens to you because I’m sure the rest of the will turn out perfectly!

    Gosh these do look incredibly good. My daughter goes nuts for these American Pancakes and I have to confess that I don’t even bother to make the more traditional types. My preference is maple syrup but I will try to pop some blueberries in as she loves those too!Delicious!
