BLUEBERRY-CORNMEAL PANCAKES
This batter is thicker than normal, thanks to the addition of cornmeal. The bubbles that usually indicate when to flip a pancake will not form, so flip when the edges start to set.

- Whisk together flour, cornmeal, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, milk, butter, and egg. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined (mixture will be lumpy).
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toss blueberries with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Brush griddle with melted butter. Spoon batter onto griddle 1/3 cup at a time. Sprinkle with sugared blueberries, about 2 tablespoons per pancake. Cook until edges are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter and blueberries, adding more butter to griddle and keeping prepared pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven. Serve with orange-maple butter and maple syrup.

CORNMEAL-BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
Pancakes are so easy to make that they encourage experimentation. Enter this cornmeal-blueberry variation, which feels like a weekend treat but is well suited for the weekday morning rush. Here, 1/2 cup of cornmeal is swapped out for a portion of the all-purpose flour, giving the pancake a wonderful texture. Make sure to dust the blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter; it will ensure even distribution of the fruit across the pancakes.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving toward the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat. (Lumps are fine.) Coat your blueberries in a teaspoon of flour so that they don't sink, then stir them into the batter. The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
- Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to overcrowd the cooking surface.
- Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

Steps:
- For the blueberry syrup: In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes on low. Stir in the cornstarch, then continue to cook, using a whisk or spoon to mash the larger pieces of blueberries. Remove from the heat when the syrup is nice and thick.

Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Stir in the melted butter. If the batter is overly thick, splash in a small amount of milk.
- Heat 1 tablespoon melted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. When hot, drop in 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Continue with the remaining batter, using more melted butter as needed
- Stack some pancakes for each serving, placing a pat of butter on top. Drizzle with warm maple syrup if desired, then spoon blueberry syrup over the top. Dig in!

Steps:
- Blueberry butter:
- Add the butter, blueberries, preserves, coriander, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth. (Store in the fridge, wrapped in paper or plastic, or in a butter keeper, for up to 5 days; or freeze for up to 3 months.)
- Tip: A stick of butter coming out of the fridge can take a surprisingly long time to come to room temperature. To speed it up, cut the butter into ½-inch pieces and leave on the counter; it should be at room temp in 10 to 12 minutes.
- Pancakes:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and oil until smooth.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold together until just combined. Do not overmix. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and grease lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using 2 heaping tablespoons of batter for each pancake. With the back of the spoon, gently spread the batter into a 3- to 4-inch circle. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and the center of the pancake feels slightly firm to the touch, another 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes hot with the blueberry butter and maple syrup.
- Note: *Judy Kuhn is a brilliant Broadway actor who also just happens to be the singing voice of Pocahontas. It should also be noted that Vanessa Williams did a great job with the pop version of the song, which played over the closing credits.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Blueberry maple syrup, butter, and whipped cream are all classic toppings for cornmeal pancakes.
- Make ahead: Cornmeal pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave or oven.
Conclusion:
Cornmeal pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be served with a variety of toppings. These pancakes are a great way to start your day or enjoy a special brunch.
