How to make it
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl whisk the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined, leaving the batter slightly lumpy; do not overmix or the pancakes will be tough.
- Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes while you heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface, then scatter a few blueberries over each one so they distribute evenly.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Keep the finished pancakes warm and repeat with the remaining batter, regreasing the pan as needed, then serve hot with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
