Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until just combined; do not overmix, a few lumps are fine.
- 4
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, mashing gently with a fork, until the berries break down and form a thick sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
- 5
Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- 6
Using a small spoon, drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the berry sauce onto each pancake. Use a toothpick or the back of the spoon to gently swirl the berry sauce into the batter.
- 7
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter and berry sauce.
- 8
Serve immediately with extra berry sauce, if desired, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish cooking the rest.
