½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1

Preheat griddle to 375°F.

2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

3

Add eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter; whisk to combine.

4

Do not overmix the batter; it should have small to medium lumps.

5

Heat oven to 175°F.

6

Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off, it is hot enough.

7

Using a pastry brush, grease the griddle with the remaining ½ teaspoon of butter.

8

Using a 4-ounce ladle (about ½ cup), pour pancake batter onto the griddle, leaving 2 inches between each.

9

If using blueberries, scatter them on top of the batter.

10

Cook pancakes until bubbles form on top and edges are slightly dry, about 2 ½ minutes, then flip.

11

Cook until golden on the bottom, about 1 minute.

12

Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm in the oven.
