Minnesota Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

It's been blueberry picking time around here, and several of my friends have been out gathering them to make jams and desserts.

I took the easy way out and found some at our local Farmer's Market to make a batch of pancakes. I was hoping to freeze a few pancakes, but there weren't any left! Soft, light and airy, drizzled with maple syrup and plenty of butter, they were a real treat.

After looking at the photo's I took, I realized only one really showed the blueberries IN the pancake:

When I make them, I always pour the batter in the pan, then drop the blueberries on before flipping them. Only one side shows the blueberries I guess. Luckily I realized it and flipped them to take a photo!
