Method
 

Preparation of Blueberry Maple Syrup
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, 1 cup of blueberries, and fresh lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for about ten minutes. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm before stirring in the remaining blueberries.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combining Wet Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy, then whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter.
Combining Mixtures
  1. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined; lumps are fine.
Cooking the Pancakes
  1. Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat and brush it with vegetable oil. Drop about ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot surface and sprinkle 6 to 8 blueberries on each pancake. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden.
Serving
  1. Serve pancakes immediately, drizzled with the blueberry-maple syrup.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best flavor. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
