Ingredients
Crumb Topping:
½ cup flour
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pancake:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
½ cup milk (skim or your preference)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1–2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 ⅔ cups blueberries
Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.
Crumb Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until well combined. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the pancake batter.
Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, milk, melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until combined. (Note: The butter may clump due to cold ingredients—that’s okay!) Gently combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just mixed. The batter will be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing.
Assemble: Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the blueberries over the top. Retrieve the crumb topping from the fridge and sprinkle it evenly over the blueberries and batter.
Bake: Bake the casserole for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is puffed and lightly golden brown. Check the center for doneness with a toothpick or skewer.
Serve: Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.
