Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) wild huckleberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw if frozen)
  • ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter (for syrup)
  • ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (for syrup)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Stir in milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in wild huckleberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  8. While pancakes cook, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in honey, lemon juice, and salt. Warm until combined and slightly thickened.
  9. Serve pancakes stacked and drizzled generously with warm honey butter syrup.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps keep pancakes light. Fold berries gently to prevent color bleeding and sogginess. Adjust skillet heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
