Prepare Blueberry Filling
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 3 cups of fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the mixture simmers. Mix a cornstarch slurry with water, stir it into the berry mixture, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and fold in reserved blueberries.
Make Pancake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until blended. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: beaten eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, combining until just mixed; a few lumps are okay.
Assemble Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour half of the pancake batter into the dish, spread it evenly, spoon the blueberry filling over it, and add the remaining batter on top.
Bake
- Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Prepare Glaze (Optional)
- While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust thickness with more buttermilk if needed.
Serve
- Once baked, let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle glaze over top and serve warm with whipped cream, maple syrup, or fresh mint leaves.
