Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • Fresh blueberries rinsed

Blueberry Lemon Zest Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest optional
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions
 

Pancakes

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, and then quickly whisk in the melted butter. Add in the eggs. Beat until well blended. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wire whisk. Stir until it's blended together. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Add about 5 -8 fresh blueberries on top of each pancake while cooking, before flipping. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Syrup

  • Place blueberries, water, lemon zest and sugar into a small sauce pan. Slowly bring to a boil over medium low heat. Allow to boil for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Turn off heat and allow to cool. Spoon over blueberry pancakes.

Notes

You can do only half this recipe. Just use 2 eggs instead of three, cut all the ingredients in half.It will make 19 pancakes.
Also note that the cook time listed is just for the pancakes and not for the topping. It can be made ahead of time and cooling while you are making the pancakes.
