Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Buttermilk Pancake Casserole
  1. Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a saucepan, combine 3 cups of blueberries, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice over medium heat. Stir until simmering. Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add it to the blueberries until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. In another bowl, combine 2 eggs, 1.25 cups buttermilk, ¼ cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix wet ingredients into dry, combining gently.
  3. Assemble the Casserole: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish. Pour half of the batter into the dish, spread evenly, then add blueberry filling, and top with the remaining batter.
  4. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. It's done when golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Prepare Glaze (Optional): While the casserole bakes, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons buttermilk and ½ teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
  6. Serve: Allow casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or mint leaves.
