Preparation
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Stir wet ingredients into dry only until combined, then gently fold in blueberries. Rest batter 10–15 minutes. On a lightly greased 375°F griddle, portion 2 tablespoons batter per small pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, flip once, and cook through. Makes about 24 small pancakes or 12 preschool servings. Cool slightly and cut into strips for younger children.
