In a large bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar and whisk until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
In a third bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, milk, melted butter and lemon zest.
Preheat griddle to 350 F, spray generously with oil.
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture in to the whipped egg whites, then gently fold the sifted dry ingredient in the egg mixture until just combined.
Pour or scoop batter onto griddle, about ¼ cup for each pancake.
Distribute blueberries evenly over the top of the pancakes. Once bubbles start to form on top of the pancake, flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Serve hot with blueberry compote.
