# Required Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 125 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 25 grams granulated sugar
03 - 8 grams baking powder
04 - 1.25 milliliters salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 240 milliliters whole or low-fat milk
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 30 grams melted butter
08 - 1 tablespoon lemon zest
09 - 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice

→ Add-ins

10 - 75 grams fresh blueberries

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C to ensure even cooking and proper rising of the pancake bites.
02 - Grease a mini muffin tin using cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
05 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are acceptable.
06 - Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, avoiding crushing to maintain bursts of flavor.
07 - Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup approximately two-thirds full.
08 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
09 - Allow the bites to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light texture. Fresh baking powder ensures optimal rise. Frozen blueberries should be thawed and drained before use to prevent excess moisture.
