Prepare the dry ingredients. Take a large bowl and place a fine-mesh sieve on top. Pour the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt into the sieve. Sift all the ingredients into the bowl, gently tapping the side of the sieve. This step is very important as it aerates the flour and removes any lumps, which is the first secret to fluffy pancakes.
Description
Discover the secret to perfectly fluffy, cloud-like blueberry pancakes that melt in your mouth. Our recipe is the essence of a weekend, lazy breakfast that turns every morning into a little celebration. The secret to their extraordinary texture is the use of buttermilk combined with baking soda, creating a magical reaction that lightens the batter from within. The pancakes are gently sweet, with a hint of vanilla and the refreshing acidity of lemon zest, while the juicy blueberries burst with flavor in every bite. They look beautiful – golden, appetizingly browned, with purple flecks of fruit. They pair perfectly with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of natural yogurt. This dish will be loved by both children and adults, and it's easier to make than you think!

Preparation steps
In a second, smaller bowl, prepare the wet ingredients. Crack two eggs into it and lightly beat them with a fork or whisk, just to combine the yolks with the whites. Then, pour in the buttermilk, canola oil, and optionally, vanilla extract. Mix everything together with a whisk until you achieve a smooth, liquid mixture.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones. Make a well in the center of the bowl with the dry ingredients, resembling a volcano crater. Pour the entire contents of the bowl with the wet ingredients into this well. Now, using a whisk or a rubber spatula, gently start mixing, making movements from the inside out. Mix only until the ingredients are combined. Don't worry if there are small lumps in the batter – this is desirable!
Set the dough aside to rest. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the baking soda and baking powder will start to work, creating air bubbles in the dough. The gluten will also 'relax', which will contribute to the tenderness of the pancakes. You will notice that the dough thickens slightly and small bubbles will appear on its surface.
Add the berries and flavors. After resting, gently fold the berries and optionally the grated lemon zest into the batter. Use a rubber spatula, making only 2-3 movements to evenly distribute the fruit. Overmixing at this stage will destroy the air bubbles and may crush the berries, coloring the entire batter.
Heat the pan. Set the pan to medium heat. Add about half a teaspoon of oil and spread it over the entire surface with a kitchen brush or paper towel. The pan is ready when a drop of water sprinkled on its surface starts to sizzle and evaporates quickly. Too low a temperature will cause the pancakes to absorb the fat, while too high will burn them on the outside before they have a chance to cook through.
Fry the pancakes. Using a ladle or large spoon, pour portions of the batter onto the heated skillet, forming round pancakes with a diameter of about 8-10 cm. Leave space between them, as they will rise while frying. Fry over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. You will know it's time to flip them when bubbles start to appear and burst on the surface of the pancakes, and the edges become dull and set.
Flip the pancakes and cook them further. Using a thin, wide spatula, gently lift each pancake and quickly flip it to the other side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the other side is also golden brown. A finished pancake should be springy when lightly pressed with a finger.
Serve. Remove the finished pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate. To keep the entire batch warm, you can place the cooked pancakes in an oven preheated to 80°C. Serve immediately, while still warm, drizzled with maple syrup, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit and yogurt.
Fun Fact
The magic of the fluffiness of these pancakes is a simple chemical reaction! Buttermilk (acid) reacts with baking soda (base), creating carbon dioxide. This gas forms thousands of tiny bubbles in the batter, which expand during frying, lifting the batter and creating its characteristic, cloud-like structure.

Tips
Serve the pancakes stacked high. Drizzle them generously with maple syrup or honey. Top with a dollop of thick Greek yogurt or whipped cream and decorate with fresh berries and mint leaves. You can dust the whole thing with powdered sugar for a 'snowy' effect.
If you have leftover pancakes, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It's best to reheat them in a toaster or on a dry skillet, which will help them regain a slight crispiness. They can also be frozen, placing each pancake between parchment paper, and then reheated in the oven or toaster.
