Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. For the blueberry compote, combine fresh blueberries, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries start to burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the blueberry compote.
