Time 30m

Yield 12 pancakes (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup blue cornmeal
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
2 to 3 bananas, peeled and sliced

3 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
2 sticks butter, slightly softened
2 tablespoons honey
Pinch salt
2 cups pure maple syrup
2 to 3 cinnamon sticks

Steps:

  • Preheat a nonstick griddle. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of the milk in a medium bowl until combined, then stir in the melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries. If the batter seems too thick, add some of the remaining milk.

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Pancake Recipes     Whole Grain Pancake Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup blue cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 beaten egg
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the blue cornmeal, salt and sugar. Stir in the boiling water until all of the ingredients are wet. Cover, and let stand for a few minutes.
  • In a measuring cup, combine the milk, egg and melted butter. Stir the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cornmeal mixture until just incorporated. If the batter is stiff, add a little more milk until it flows off the spoon thickly but smoothly.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, and grease it with a dab of oil or butter. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Quickly sprinkle a few pignoli onto each cake. When the entire surface of the pancakes are covered with bubbles, flip them over, and cook the other side until golden. It's hard to tell when blue food is cooked through--so give them a few extra seconds if you're in doubt.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup of fruit preserves.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pancake batter, be sure to whisk the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to prevent lumps.
  • Allow the pancake batter to rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking. This will help the flour to absorb the liquid and create a more tender pancake.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the pancakes. This will help to prevent them from sticking and tearing.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once, when bubbles start to form around the edges.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
