In reply to Allie. Hi Allie! I find that sometimes the batter can be thinner with a buttermilk substitute, but not unmanageable. Did you use whole fat milk for your substitute?

These were delicious, but mine batter was super watery and also clumped up, even with following the instructions about cooling the butter, using room temp ingredients, etc. I did use the buttermilk substitute so maybe that’s why., But the taste was great. Thanks, Sam!

OK, so I’ve only made your pancakes with the buttermilk substitute and I’ve always been a bit disappointed and would go back to my old recipe. BUT, I had some real buttermilk leftover and decided to give this another shot. And I’m glad I did. There’s a huge difference between sub and real! These were very yummy!

In reply to Marla. Thanks for letting us know how you liked them, Marla! And yes, the substitute is great in a pinch, but the real thing is usually better.

I love this recipe! I have tried it with both real and the buttermilk substitute and I think using real buttermilk particularly in this recipe makes a huge difference.

In reply to Jamie Ferrandi. Hi Jamie, there is a whole section in the post about using frozen blueberries, as indicated in the recipe :)

there was nothing in the notes about the frozen blueberries!

In reply to Sheep. Sure that should work. Raspberries are just a little bit softer so they may bleed into your pancakes a little bit. :)

Hello! I was wondering if you could substitute raspberries for the blueberries.

Only had 2 cups of buttermilk so used skim for the other 1/4 cup. They still came out great!

In reply to Corrin. Haha, I make a lot of amoeba looking pancakes, to be honest! For these I was a little extra careful because I knew I wanted to photograph them. I used a smaller pan (one that was the size I wanted my pancakes to be) and an ice cream scoop to portion the batter. Oh and when you first portion the pancake out if the edges are still amoeba-looking you can nudge the batter into more of a circle with a spoon if you REALLY want them to look nice (if I use the small pan the batter usually spreads while it heats up to be a nice circle shape and I don't have to do this). Here's a video showing how I do it with my Buttermilk Pancakes, if that helps! I'm so glad you enjoyed the pancakes!

I just made these for my dad, Amaaaaaazing! But how do you get your pancakes so beautifully round? Mine looked more like amoebas!

Wonderful recipe! I love making Sunday brunch and these pancakes were wonderful. Thanks! Ps. Also made your chocolate chip muffins and they were a big hit.
