Campos-Duffy concurred, saying, "They love this."
The pancakes are made first by mixing together the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients — plus freshly zested lemon — in another bowl.

The two are then combined in one bowl.
To make the pancakes "super fluffy," Campos-Duffy folds in whipped egg whites "at the very end" of the mixing process.
The egg whites, said Shimkus, are the "secret ingredient" to the pancakes.

With the batter mixed, Campos-Duffy then cooks the pancakes on a griddle, adding blueberries to the pancakes once they're in the pan.
"You used to cook this for your children on Saturdays," noted Shimkus.

"But now I'm not home on Saturdays," said Campos-Duffy with a laugh.
Her children, she said, have taken up the role of pancake maker in her absence.
"All my kids know how to make pancakes," said Campos-Duffy.
