FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent the batter from turning blue.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to use the batter right after making it. However, you can prepare the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately ahead of time and mix them just before cooking.
What can I serve with pancakes?
Besides syrup, you can serve pancakes with yogurt, slice fruits like bananas or strawberries, or even a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch.
