When I saw the photo of this pancake in Martha Stewart Living, I had to have it!! My daughter felt the same way. When I pulled it out of the oven, she said that it looked just like the picture in the magazine! What a complement- although the biggest complement was that she said she loved it so much she wanted it for her birthday breakfast (in November…)!! 🙂 This recipe was adapted from Martha Stewart Living; I used low-fat buttermilk and baking soda as a substitute for whole milk. So pretty & tasty! So much easier than flipping pancakes too. Yay for blueberry season! 🙂
A perfect addition to Fiesta Friday #19 at the Novice Gardener this week (especially since I will make it there for for breakfast today!).
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon for pan
- 1 cup blueberries (about 5 ounces)
- Confectioners’ sugar, for serving
- pure maple syrup, for serving
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in upper third. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or other nonstick ovenproof pan) in oven.
- Whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in another bowl. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined.
- Remove skillet from oven and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, swirling to coat.
- Pour in batter and smooth top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle evenly with blueberries and remaining 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
- Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes (on convection) to 25 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool 5 minutes before dusting with confectioners’ sugar and serving with syrup.

Oh my.. the compliment from your daughter makes this dish definitely special. I still remember my Mom getting that BIG smile after i complimented her special effort cooking .It surely looks like magazine and yummy too 🙂
She is a mama’s girl but a tough critic just the same! 🙂
😀
Now I have to have it! This looks gorgeous and sooooo delicious, I can just imagine how it smells & tastes warm from the oven. Happy weekend!
Thank you 🙂 Enjoy it- It’s a perfect weekend breakfast!!
If I’m your daughter, I’d also love this for my birthday breakfast. This looks really good! Happy FF! 🙂
Thanks! It is grand enough for a birthday! 🙂

I LOVE blueberries! And pancakes, of course 😀 It seems like the perfect combination 🙂 I must definitely try this! Looks sooooooo delicious! Thanks for bringing this to FF! Happy Fiesta Friday!
Thank you!! I love blueberry pancakes too. Happy FF to you too 🙂
Thank you 🙂 If I ever become a mom, I wish my daughter will love my cooking 🙂
This looks better than the magazine Josette! Gorgeous and must be fun to bake in skillet :).
Thanks, Sonal- You are the best 🙂
This looks great! Question though: I’m assuming the blueberries are fresh. So you think I could use dried blueberries and get a similar result?
I would substitute frozen blueberries in a heartbeat. Not quite the same- but almost. I will have to do that in November!! 🙂
Thanks. We don’t get blueberries much over here and I have a whole bag of dried blueberries just waiting to be used up lol. Frozen makes sense though, will give it a shot! My bday is November as well so perhaps you could send some for me then! Lol
Great job Josette- this looks pretty delicious 🙂
Thank you! Happy Fiesta Friday! 🙂
Awww what your daughter said was so sweet! She’s right though, this is beautiful! And those blueberries… I’m imagining them bursting in my mouth now… I’ve got to try this! Especially since it looks so easy!
Super easy!! Enjoy 🙂
I love blueberries and had never thought of making a pancake in an oven before! I’m going to have to give it a shot. Thank you so much for sharing and bringing these to FF! 😀
I hadn’t thought of baking a pancake either- I love Martha 🙂 So easy & delicious.
I love blueberry in pancake, but this one looks very special indeed. Oh I want this for my breakfast tomorrow.
Do it! Enjoy!! 🙂
this looks so beautiful! Can a cake pan be used for this, or a heavy-bottomed skillet is necessary? I suppose then it would be called a blueberry cake. 🙂
I think a cake pan would work 🙂 Make sure EVERYONE knows it’s a pancake though!!
🙂
Great idea as I have never made a pancake in the oven. Blueberry is my favorite 🙂
Blueberry is my favorite too 🙂
wow, this looks absolutely delicious!
Thank you!! Happy Fiesta Friday! 🙂
Josette- this looks so amazing! Truly! I want a piece!! 🙂 Bookmarking! 🙂
Thank you- let me know when you try it! 🙂
Will do! 🙂
I love that this can be done in a cast iron skillet! I use mine all the time, but never would have thought to use it for an oven pancake. I can’t wait to try this, thanks so much for bringing it to the party! 🙂
I love my cast iron skillets! 🙂 Great for everything!! Have a great weekend 🙂
I agree, and thank you…you too! 🙂
omg, I must try this recipe, love blueberry pancakes and this one is nice and thick, thanks for sharing! pinned
Thank you! As a blueberry pancake lover myself, I probably added a few extra blueberries… more is better, right? so tasty 🙂
We will soon be in blueberry season and I will make your wonderful recipe for sure! This looks heavenly! 😀
I LOVE blueberry season!! 🙂
Wait a second! You did know I was coming, and you did bake a cake. A Pancake Cake, but still a cake. So thank you! Seriously, thank you for this wonderful summery recipe and for bringing it to this week’s party. I love that you used buttermilk, too, it makes pancakes taste so much better I think.
I think buttermilk is almost essential to a pancake… I adapt many pancake recipes to include it. 🙂 By the way- you are too much… I DID know you were coming, so I had to bake a (pan)cake! 🙂 It’s my trademark!! Happy Fiesta Friday!! 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
Cheers, . . . that’s what my husband always says . . . in fact he uses an acronym “YATM” because I get to silly! Have a good weekend yourself!
The more recipes I see from you, Josette, the more I know I would LOVE for you to cook for me! Looks absolutely delicious! 😛
You are so KIND to me!! What a lovely comment! Thank you so much 🙂
Darling Josette, This baked blueberry pancake is marvelous! I have a similar blueberry cake, but your presentation is fabulous! 😛 Fae.
Thanks, Fae! I do love a good blueberry buckle too- so many delicious blueberry recipes… so little time! 🙂
I love that it can be baked in a skillet!
me too 🙂 It really adds to the presentation too.
Great compliment from your daughter Josette and well deserved too! The pancake looks perfect 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
I love easy delicious breakfasts! And if it has blueberries it’s perfect! Oh and it does look like out of a magazine 🙂
Thanks!! 🙂 Such a low-maintenance special meal – I know that I will be making it again soon- maybe with strawberries too?!?!
Of course… sounds great as well. 🙂
Oh yes, this is definitely a perfect birthday breakfast! But I would totally eat this for breakfast every day if I could!
me too! 🙂 Maybe I should try it with some whole wheat flour… a little healthier? 🙂
Then you can definitely eat it every day, it’s practically good for you!
What a delicious breakfast! I’ve never tried baked pancakes, your looks marvellous, and I should try it!
You should try it! 🙂 Let me know if you do!!
Beautiful photos!
Thank you SO much- that is such a HUGE compliment coming from you!! 🙂
Josette…Welcome to Fiesta Friday! I’m with your daughter… I’d like this for my birthday breakfast in December please! I’ll send you my address. 🙂 You stop in and I’ll have the coffee ready! It’s the perfect treat to bring to the table this weekend. Thank you so much for sharing! And yes… absolutely gorgeous photos! Have a lovely week.. ❤
Thank you! You are the perfect hostess with all of your lovely comments, as usual! 🙂 Happy FF!
I have thoroughly enjoyed browsing your blog. Your photos are awesome!
Thank you so much!! The BIGGEST compliment 🙂
That’s one of the prettiest pancakes I’ve ever seen, Josette! Great job!
Thanks! I loved its presentation 🙂
This looks stunning! I’d like to have these for my birthday too, and definitely served straight from the skillet! 😀
🙂 Thanks! I should have just cut it into quarters…. the entire thing was GONE in one sitting!
This looks delicious. I need to try it out sometime.
It’s so simple- PERFECT for summer 🙂
i love the idea of this x
Try it!! 🙂
I will!!

So if you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you just use 3/4 cup whole milk and leave out all the baking soda?
Exactly! I like the tanginess the buttermilk adds, but I am sure it would be delicious with whole milk too.
