Lemon Blueberry Pancakes

These could easily be the best homemade pancakes ever!  And that's saying something because I looooove homemade pancakes!

adapted from the lovely Pioneer Woman

1-1/2 cup Flour

1 Tablespoon (additional) Flour

1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Tbs Baking Powder
3 Tbs Sugar
1 3/4 cup Evaporated Milk
Juice and zest of 1 Lemon (more If Needed)
1 Large Egg
1-1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 Tbs Butter, Melted
1 cup  Blueberries

Heat heavy skillet or grill over medium low heat.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix evaporated milk, juice of 1 lemon (more if lemon isn't very juicy), and lemon zest. Allow to sit for five minutes, then add egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix to combine.
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine. Splash in more evaporated milk if mixture is overly thick. Stir in blueberries. Again, check to make sure mixture isn't overly thick.
Melt butter in heated skillet. Drop batter by 1/4 cup measures and fry pancakes on both sides until golden.
Serve with softened butter and warm syrup.

*Fun Facts Blueberries are high in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber!  The antioxidants found in blueberries help fight cancer, lower blood pressure, and raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).
