These fluffy huckleberry lemon buttermilk pancakes combine wild huckleberries, bright lemon zest, and tangy buttermilk for a perfect breakfast treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (150g) huckleberries, fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet or griddle to medium heat (about 350°F/175°C) and let it warm up for 5–7 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined; lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully fold in the huckleberries, adding frozen berries last to prevent color bleed.
  6. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Using a ¼-cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the hot skillet.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and tent with foil while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Fold berries gently to avoid breaking them and color bleed. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven tented with foil. Flip pancakes only once for best texture.
