Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 large egg, 3 tbsp melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup raspberries, keeping raspberries intact.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with melted butter.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more. Avoid pressing down on pancakes.
  7. While pancakes cook, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
  8. Stack pancakes, dollop with whipped cream, and garnish with extra berries.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh berries for best texture and appearance. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making multiple batches. If batter thickens, add a splash of milk to loosen.
