The pancakes look wonderful - I like how the blueberries didnt bleed all over!

Buttermilk Substitute

My family never buys buttermilk anymore we make coddled milk and use it instead. I make buttermilk waffles once a week using this and they are always fantastic.

Coddled Milk (substitute for Buttermilk Directly 1 cup=1 cup)

1 cup milk (whole is best, works with fat-free though)
1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar

Warm milk to room temperature (15 second in the microwave is enough). Then add the acidic lemon juice or vinegar and leave undisturbed for 15 minutes. The result is thicker and lumpy than milk and doesn't taste too good straight but is great in baking and cooking. This recipie scales up and down perfectly.

Just made these pancakes. The batter turned out to be a little too thick though, which could be why they didn't bubble up. And when you say all-purpose flour, do you mean wheat flour or the one that's used in cakes?

Many thanks for the "coddled" milk. I need to make Irish soda Bread for my Irish sweetie.
Happy St. Patrick's day to all.

These sound fantastic! Blueberries are my favorite in any sort of sweet breakfast (scones, waffles, pancakes, coffee cake, danishes..etc). I'm so excited to try these out.

Cafe Paraiso on University Blvd in Tucson, where I'm a proud wildcat, has delicious pancakes where they'll put in strawberries the same way it sounds Audrey puts them in. Just right on top after it's been poured, but you have to specifically ask for strawberries to be added into your pancakes as it's not mentioned on the menu. They are delightful though, and I'm certain these will be as well.

Hi Audrey & Elise,

I wanted to make my mum some blueberry pancakes for her Mother's Day breakfast. Since blueberry pancakes aren't common here in Scotland, I couldn't find any recipes in her cookbooks. Fortunately I came across your recipe. It was easy to follow and was a huge hit with my mum (and my dad). Thank you for sharing it.

Elise, I love your site and especially this evening... I'm in a picky state right now because of my chemo treatment and nothing tastes good to me. For some reason, soft, sweet pancakes sounded good (everything sounds good, but then it tastes like absolutely nothing when I try to eat it). I made this recipe on a lark tonight, with raspberries instead of blueberries (it's what I had in the fridge) and they were delightful and I didn't feel ill! Plus, my husband, who is not a pancake fan, said this was the best recipe he's EVER had, that he LOVES them! So thank you - you're wonderful. xxoo

Rebekah - GF flour is really tricky to work with. You will probably have the best luck using a tried and true GF pancake recipe.

I made these tonight for dinner and they were delicious! According to my husband, the batter was the best he'd ever had. I used the coddled milk recipe (though forgot to warm the milk first but it still turned out okay). I also doubled the recipe to make extras to freeze, though ended up using it to make muffins instead. They look really good!

I had these for breakfast this morning - delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for another great recipe! I made waffles instead of pancakes (used a little less milk for thicker batter) and they were so yummy!

The one thing I love about visiting the US is having these for room-service breakfast. This recipe was just as good!

I make a version of pancakes similar to this recipe, but I separate the eggs and beat the whites to add some extra help to the leavening along. They make the fluffiest cakes I've ever had.

Michele, absolutely yogurt is a great substitute for the milk fat needed in pancakes.

I haven't tried any of the recipes here yet, but am looking forward to using this site for a goto for my family's weekly menus.
