Soft, fluffy pancakes bursting with wild huckleberries and topped with a bright, tangy lemon curd drizzle. Perfect for a comforting and slightly adventurous breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) wild huckleberries, fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup (120g) lemon curd, warmed for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Add a tablespoon of buttermilk if the batter is too thick.
  4. Gently fold in the wild huckleberries, being careful not to break them up. If using frozen berries, fold them in straight from the freezer.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with melted butter or oil. The surface should be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately.
  6. Using a ladle or ¼-cup measure, pour batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Avoid pressing down on pancakes.
  8. While pancakes cook, warm lemon curd gently in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave in short bursts until pourable but not hot.
  9. Serve pancakes immediately stacked on plates with lemon curd drizzled over the top. Optionally, add fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Preheat the pan properly to avoid burning or undercooking. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. Warm lemon curd gently to maintain drizzle texture. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if needed.
