Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Large Bowl
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

Directions
  1. Prepare Blueberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups of fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until it simmers for about 5 minutes. Thicken with a cornstarch mixture and stir for 1-2 minutes, then fold in the remaining blueberries.
  2. Make Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. In another bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Assemble Casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour half of the pancake batter into the dish, layer it with the blueberry filling, and then drop the remaining pancake batter on top, spreading it gently.
  4. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until it turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Prepare Optional Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the consistency if needed for drizzling.
  6. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with the optional glaze and serve warm, adding maple syrup or whipped cream as desired.
