What should the consistency of the batter be like when making these small-batch pancakes?
When mixing the batter, use a gentle hand when folding in the dry ingredients and try not to overmix. If you see some streaks or lumps of flour in the batter, that is perfectly fine. In fact, this ensures you will have a lighter, fluffier pancake as they cook on the griddle. Check out more expert tips when you're learning

How can you make uniform pancakes every time?
The best tool for consistent pancakes is a spring-loaded cookie scoop. Look for a scoop with 1/4 cup capacity for this recipe. You can also use a 1/4 measuring cup—just scoop the batter and level it off with a knife or spatula before pouring the batter out onto the griddle.

Editor’s Note: For dollar-size pancakes, drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto a griddle.
buttermilk
To substitute for each cup of buttermilk, use 1 Tbsp. white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand 5 min. Or, use 1 cup plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk.
Blueberries
If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.
