Ingredients 

For Pancakes

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 TBS sugar
  • 2 TBS baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2-3 TBS butter
  • Extra butter for serving

For the Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • Zest and juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 TBS black chia seeds optional

Instructions

For the Pancakes

  • Mix the four, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl beat the egg and milk together.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient and mix it together.
  • Let the batter sit on the countertop for 5-10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°
  • Spray a large skillet with cooking spray or add a little butter.
  • Turn the heat on medium to low heat.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, spoon the batter into the skillet. (I usually make these in batches of three pancakes at a time.)
  • When you see large holes start to form on the top of the pancakes, you'll know they are ready to flip.
  • As each batch is done, place them on a cookie sheet or plate in the 200° oven to keep them warm until serving.

For the Syrup

  • Place the berries, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small stove top pan.
  • Bring it to a boil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce it to a simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add the chia seeds.
