- 2 pints blueberries, picked through and SCARY ones sent to the grave
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup maple syrup

- Mix gently until combined with a wooden spoon.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Make the pancakes: On a griddle or in a large pan, add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt on low heat.
- Then raise the heat to medium-high.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out the pancake batter and pour onto the prepared griddle/pan.
- Allow to set a bit on the bottom, and then sprinkle crushed candy bar bits over the top.
- When bubbles begin to appear around the edge and center, flip the pancake and cook until a peek underneath reveals a golden bottom.
- Repeat in batches using more butter, if needed, until all done.
- (Keep the pancakes warm in a 100 degree oven on a baking sheet.)
- Serve with Scary Blueberry Syrup.
- Make the scary blueberry syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries, 1 cup water, sugar, lemon zest and juice.
- Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes.
- Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break up blueberries as they cook.
- Once reduced and thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup.
- Taste and add just a pinch of salt to season.
- Serve warm.
