Fluffy and tender pancakes with a sweet, citrusy flavor are filled with juicy blueberries and are perfect for both breakfast and dessert. Instead of traditional pancake buttermilk, Ree Drummond decided to mix the batter with unsweetened condensed milk, which she had leftover from another recipe. To help it curdle a bit, she added lemon juice and zest. The citrusy freshness nicely balanced the sweet blueberry flavor, resulting in perfect pancakes in both texture and flavor. Fry these pancakes in butter and serve with natural maple syrup or your favorite topping.

• 1.5 tbsp. + 1 tbsp. cake flour
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
