Method
 

Preparing the Blueberry Compote
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine fresh or frozen blueberries, brown sugar, maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring consistently for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Making the Pancake Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk until smooth. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding until just combined; some lumps are okay.
Cooking the Pancakes
  1. Heat a well-greased non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serving the Pancakes
  1. Stack the warm pancakes on a serving plate, topping generously with blueberry compote and drizzling with maple syrup if desired.
