There’s something magical about waking up to the aroma of fresh blueberry pancakes sizzling on a hot griddle. Growing up, Sunday mornings were always special in our house. My grandmother would wake up early to prepare a stack of golden pancakes, bursting with juicy blueberries and topped with a drizzle of maple syrup. The kitchen would be filled with warmth, laughter, and the irresistible scent of buttery batter cooking to perfection. Today, I’m sharing her beloved recipe with you, so you can bring a taste of nostalgia to your own breakfast table.
