Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal (medium grind)
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well integrated.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir just until combined; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the batter is resting, prepare the blueberry maple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil or butter.
Step 6
Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Serve the warm pancakes stacked on a plate and generously drizzle with the blueberry maple syrup. Enjoy!
