Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the diced nectarines and blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little melted butter to coat the surface.
- For each pancake, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and additional fruit if desired.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract into the batter.
- Feel free to substitute the nectarines with peaches or other seasonal fruits.
- If you're looking for a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
