Lemon Blueberry Pancakes with Buttermilk Syrup

Ken was looking through a magazine and found this recipe for Lemon Blueberry Pancakes.  While visiting Kristen in Wisconsin, we gave them a try.  They were delicious!

Lemon Blueberry Pancakes
1 1/2 cups plus 1 Tablespoon flour (we used part white and part wheat, but the recipe called for white)
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 heaping Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 lemon, zested and juiced (add more juice if the lemon isn't very juicy)
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup blueberries
Syrup (Recipe below)

Heat your grill.  In a bowl mix together the milk, lemon, and zest.  Let this mixture sit while you mix together all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.  After about five minutes, add the egg and vanilla to the wet mixture and mix well.  Pour wet into dry mixture and combine.  Then stir in the butter.  Add more milk if the mixture is too thick.  Gently stir in the blueberries.  Butter the hot skillet and cook the pancakes.  Serve hot with buttermilk syrup.
They turned out even better when I made them at home a few weeks later.

Buttermilk Syrup
3/4 cup buttermilk (can add lemon juice to milk to make buttermilk)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon baking soda.
In a large saucepan, combine the buttermilk, sugar, and butter.  Bring to a boil and boil one minute.  Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda.
