Print Recipe

These fluffy pancakes combine the tang of buttermilk with bursts of juicy huckleberries, topped with a luscious maple butter for a cozy and delicious breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen huckleberries
  • For the Maple Butter:
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the maple butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy and well blended. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently just until combined; batter should be lumpy.
  5. Fold in huckleberries carefully using a spatula to keep berries intact.
  6. Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. When it foams but does not brown, it’s ready.
  7. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  8. Serve pancakes warm topped generously with maple butter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine to keep pancakes fluffy. Adjust heat to avoid burning. Use fresh or frozen huckleberries without thawing. Maple butter can be made ahead and stored in fridge. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making for a crowd. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with coconut yogurt thinned with water and use dairy-free butter.
