Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Just toss them in frozen - no need to thaw first. The cold berries actually help prevent them from bleeding too much color into the batter. You might need to cook the pancakes about 30 seconds longer since the frozen berries chill the batter a bit.

Why do my pancakes stick to the pan?

Oh honey, we've all been there! First, make sure your pan is properly heated (those dancing water droplets I mentioned). Second, use just a light swipe of butter or oil - too much makes them fry instead of bake. And never try to flip them too early - wait for those bubbles!

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

You can mix the dry and wet ingredients separately the night before, but combine them right before cooking. The baking powder starts working immediately, so rested batter makes flatter pancakes. If you must store mixed batter, expect to add a splash more milk to loosen it up.

Why are my pancakes coming out dense?

Three likely culprits: overmixed batter (lumps are good!), old baking powder (check the date!), or packing your flour into the measuring cup. Also, make sure not to press them down while cooking - those bubbles are precious!

Can I make these without eggs?

Yes! For each egg, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. The texture will be slightly different, but still delicious. I've also had success with mashed banana as an egg substitute here.
