Method
Prepare the Blueberry Filling
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries start to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water, then add to the mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
Assemble the Casserole
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour half of the pancake batter into the dish, then layer the blueberry filling on top. Pour the remaining batter over the blueberries.
Bake
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
- While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, adjusting the consistency with more buttermilk as needed.
Serve
- Once baked, cool for about 10 minutes, drizzle with glaze if desired, and serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh mint.
