Puree 1/2 cup blueberries in a small food processor with lemon juice. Combine pureed blueberries, sugar, water, and cinnamon in medium saucepan.

Heat griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with oil. pour scant 1/2 cup batter onto griddle; spread batter to make 5 to 6-inch circles. Sprinkle a few blueberries over. When bubbles form and break on top and edges lose wet and shiny look (about 1 minute), flip pancakes. Cook second until brown and baked through (about 1 minute). Continue until all batter is used. Serve pancakes with warm blueberry sauce and topped with drizzled vanilla cream sauce.

notes

the cream sauce is first in the recipe because It's best to make the cream sauce the night before. and add the whipped cream the next morning right before serving.
