Plain fluffy pancakes only require flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla, milk and an egg.

But to make fluffy blueberry pancakes, we need to give the pancakes an extra rising boost because the blueberries kind of “weighs down” the batter a bit. Especially if you use frozen ones.

The Fluff Boosters we’re using here are baking soda and vinegar.

Baking soda (also known as bi carbonate soda) is basically baking powder on steroids – it’s about 3 times as strong. It’s sold alongside baking powder at the grocery store.

The vinegar activates the baking soda – gives it a kick start. Don’t worry, you can’t taste the vinegar! (PS Buttermilk has the same effect – but I always make these with milk and vinegar because I always have them and it’s cheaper).

Whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and soda, salt and sugar). Add wet (butter, egg, milk, vanilla, vinegar). Mix, add blueberries, dollop, watch for bubbles, flip.

Simple, right?

Yep. Dangerously so!
