Good morning, sunshine! Waffles are great and all, but sometimes you just gotta have a stack of fluffy, golden pancakes drizzled with warm syrup to jumpstart your day. The problem? Boxed pancake mix always leaves me feeling a little...meh. That's why I decided to create this recipe for Fluffy Pancakes with Homemade Blueberry Syrup. These pancakes are light as air, bursting with vanilla flavor, and the homemade blueberry syrup takes things to a whole new level of deliciousness. Trust me, this breakfast spread is a winner!

Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Pancakes:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix (a few lumps are okay!).
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- Pour batter onto the griddle for each pancake, leaving a little space between them.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through.
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and lemon juice. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering blueberry mixture until incorporated and the sauce thickens slightly more.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
