How to make it
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, leaving the batter slightly lumpy rather than overmixing it.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water sizzle and dance across the surface.
- Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip each pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then serve warm with maple syrup.
