Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) whole milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh or frozen huckleberries
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (for lemon butter)
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt (for lemon butter)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in the huckleberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet; cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. While pancakes cook, mix softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
  9. Stack pancakes on warm plates, dollop generously with lemon butter, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for best flavor in lemon butter. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. Flip pancakes only once to keep them fluffy. For dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and vegan butter, and replace egg with flax egg. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; lemon butter up to 1 week. Pancakes freeze well for up to 2 months.
