In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, combine maple syrup, egg, buttermilk, milk, and oil, whisking until well blended. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.

Carefully flip and cook until bottom side is golden brown. Serve immediately with maple syrup.
Chef's Notes: The drier the fruit, the more success you'll have with this recipe. If using fresh berries wash them gently and dry them thoroughly with paper towels or a clean cloth before cooking.
