Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Β½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Β½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ΒΌ cups (300 ml) milk, whole or 2% (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking and whipped butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) wild huckleberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped butter)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (for whipped butter)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt (about 3 minutes).
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth (about 3 minutes).
  3. Make the batter: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined; lumps are okay (1-2 minutes).
  4. Fold in huckleberries gently, being careful not to crush them (1 minute).
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil (3-5 minutes).
  6. Cook pancakes: Pour batter onto skillet using a ladle or ΒΌ cup measuring cup. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through (4-6 minutes per batch).
  7. Make whipped butter: Beat 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter with powdered sugar and honey until fluffy and spreadable (5 minutes).
  8. Serve immediately: Stack pancakes, dollop whipped butter on top, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use frozen berries straight from the freezer to avoid color bleeding. Medium heat is best for cooking pancakes. Whipped butter adds a light, sweet finish but can be substituted with regular butter or syrup. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. For vegan, substitute eggs with flax egg and use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
