Instructions
Blueberry Pancake Batter:
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, sunflower oil, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Add the milk and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—it’s okay if there are small lumps.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Cook The Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter or oil.
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
Make the blueberry Jam:
Place a small pan or small saucepan over low heat. Pour in the blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoon of water.
Bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture thickens and the blueberries are softened.
Notes: If you like juicier jam, you can leave the jam slightly runny, but the blueberries should still soften.
Serve and decorate:
Serve the pancakes warm.
Pour the blueberry jam on top and sprinkle with pistachios.
Notes
Let the pancakes cool completely before storing them. If you store them while they’re still warm, they can become soggy.
Place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. You can also stack them with a piece of parchment paper between each pancake to prevent sticking.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freeze the pancakes, but let them cool completely before placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep well for up to 2 months.
