Ingredients
For the Pancake Base:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ¾ cups buttermilk
¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 ½ cups blueberries
For the Brown Sugar Crumble:
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons cold butter
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a second large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until just combined. Fold in the blueberries.
In a small bowl, mix the crumble ingredients (flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt). Cut in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form.
Pour the pancake batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumble over the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter! Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in dense, chewy pancakes. Stir until just combined.
Use room temperature ingredients: Room temperature eggs and buttermilk will help the batter combine smoothly.
Check for doneness: Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of the casserole; if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
Let it cool slightly: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Prep the pan well: Don’t skimp on greasing the pan (or use parchment paper) to prevent sticking, making cleanup easy.
