Method

Prepare the Crumb Topping:

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is fully combined and crumbly.
Cover and refrigerate the topping while you prepare the pancake batter.

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Thoroughly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, milk, melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. The batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.

Assemble the Casserole:

Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the top of the batter.
Remove the crumb topping from the refrigerator and crumble it over the blueberries and batter.

Bake:

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes, or until it is puffed and light golden brown.
Check the center for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
