These fluffy huckleberry pancakes with a creamy maple butter topping are a comforting and quick breakfast perfect for busy mornings. The sweet-tart berries and tender pancakes create a heartwarming start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 cup (150 g) huckleberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw if frozen)
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened (for maple butter topping)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (Grade A preferred)
  • A pinch of sea salt (for maple butter topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 3 tablespoons melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be lumpy but without large pockets of flour. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Carefully fold in 1 cup huckleberries, keeping them intact and evenly distributed.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with butter. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate, the skillet is ready.
  6. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Avoid pressing down with the spatula.
  7. While pancakes cook, combine ½ cup softened butter, 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl. Whip with a fork or mixer until smooth and creamy.
  8. Stack pancakes hot, spread with generous dollops of maple butter, and optionally drizzle extra maple syrup on top.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; lumps are fine. Use frozen huckleberries straight from the freezer without thawing to prevent color bleeding. Make maple butter ahead and keep chilled for easy spreading. If buttermilk is unavailable, mix 1 ¼ cups milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and let sit 5 minutes as a substitute. Cook pancakes on medium heat and avoid pressing down while cooking.
