Lemony Blueberry Pancakes

Bisquick or Trader Joe's multigrain baking mix are my standbys for quick and good pancakes, so I was happy to find a new recipe that uses a baking mix. With just a few changes and additions it takes a mix pancake to the level of a scratch one. I was shocked at the perfect crumb and texture of these cakes, and the brightness and wonder of a little fresh lemon never fails to surprise me and please my palate. These pancakes are simply great.Lemony Blueberry Pancakes
