Or you could mix in 1/4 cup of plain yogurt with 1/4 cup of milk.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the milk, and buttermilk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine, using a wooden spoon.

Mix only until the batter just comes together.

Stir in the melted butter.

The mixture should be a little lumpy.

A lumpy batter makes fluffy pancakes.

Placing the blueberries into the pancakes while they are cooking will help keep them from bleeding.

Heat a griddle or large pan on medium to medium high heat.

(A large cast iron pan works great for cooking pancakes.)

Oil the pan with either a little butter or vegetable oil.

After a minute, peek under one for doneness.

When golden or darker golden brown, they are done.

Note that cooking the second side takes only about half as long as the first side.

And the second side doesn’t brown as evenly as the first side.

Serve with butter,maple syrup, and extra blueberries.
