Steps
In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together milk, eggs, butter, and fresh lemon juice (reserving blueberries until moments before cooking batter).
Quickly and with only a few strokes of a wooden spoon or a spatula add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. (Batter can be quite thick and should be lumpy). Cover the batter and keep in fridge until ready to cook the pancakes (up to 24 hrs.)
When you're ready to make the pancakes, heat a large skillet over medium heat with about 1/2 tbsp of butter in it and mix the blueberries carefully and quickly into the batter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop batter into skillet and cook for 2-4 minutes or until bottoms are browned. Flip and cook the other side.
Add more butter to the pan as need and repeat until remaining batter is used up.

Amy Liu Dong on 2024-04-20 (5 stars): This is easy to make and does not take a big chunk of your time, it is delicious and healthy. The sweetness and tartiness of it is what makes this an awesome dish!
Ann on 2022-04-19 (5 stars): We love to eat blueberry pancakes, but have never tried lemon blueberry pancakes. I love lemon blueberry bread, so I am sure that I would love these pancakes!
Lindsay on 2022-03-31 (5 stars): A half batch gets made every week in our house. I make a double batch every time we go to visit my in laws. I use sweetened soy milk instead of the dairy milk and sugar because that's what I have in. Somehow seems to need a touch more milk, likely because I am sloppy with measuring flour.
Thank you!
Robin Hughes on 2022-02-26 (5 stars): I’ll never be able to eat regular pancakes again! These pancakes are AMAZING! My family loved them. I switched avocado oil for the butter in the recipe, but used a tad of butter in the pan for cooking. DELICIOUS. Thank you for the amazing recipe!
Tina on 2021-06-18 (5 stars): Delicious! Can the batter be frozen for later use?
Val Skehan on 2021-02-25 (5 stars): Very best lemon and blueberry pancake recipe I have tried! Really light, fluffy and delicious. I also like that they are sweet enough without any extra sugar !
Tara on 2021-01-30 (5 stars): These were very delicious! I made these today and it was a hit! I'm also a twin & singleton (twingle) mom :)
Brad on 2021-01-21 (5 stars): Hi Sam,
I too am a Vancouverite, and in my quest for nutritious, fresh food that tastes great your pancakes are a good start with real lemon juice and blueberries. I reduced the vegetable oil I used by one-half, and substituted one-half whole wheat flour and they still came out fine. Thanks for the breakfast treat!
Lindsay on 2021-01-09 (5 stars): Tried a handful of recipes. Settled on this one to treat my love almost every weekend.
