Preparing the batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick and a bit lumpy. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
Resting the batter
Allow the batter to rest for about 5–10 minutes. This step helps the pancakes become extra fluffy by allowing the flour to hydrate fully and the leavening agents to activate.
Cooking the pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip gently and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Keeping warm
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter. Avoid pressing down on the pancakes, as this can make them dense.
Serving
Serve the pancakes warm, stacked high, and topped with butter, maple syrup, honey, or extra fresh blueberries if desired.
