Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups milk, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tbsp lemon zest until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; fold in 3/4 cup fresh blueberries.
Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
Step 5: Flip pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Keep warm.
Step 6: Meanwhile, combine 3/4 cup diced strawberries, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes until strawberries soften and syrup thickens slightly.
Step 7: Serve pancakes stacked with generous spoonfuls of the warm strawberry maple drizzle on top.
