Time 40m

Yield 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup maple syrup
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 pint fresh blueberries, blackberries or raspberries
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely ground cornmeal
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of grated nutmeg
2 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
Unsalted butter, for serving
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the syrup: Heat the syrup and both halves of the vanilla bean in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Just before the mixture comes to a simmer, remove from the heat, stir in the berries and set aside for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove the vanilla bean before serving.
  • Make the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just blended. Leaving a few lumps will result in fluffier pancakes.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add enough oil to grease it lightly and leave a film on the bottom of the pan.
  • Working in batches, ladle the batter, about 1/2 cup at a time, into the pan. Cook until the pancakes are golden brown on the bottom and bubbles start to form on top, about 3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking another 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Put the finished pancakes on a sheet tray and let sit in the oven to stay warm as you finish. Serve topped with the berry syrup, butter and confectioners' sugar.

I'm not a big fan of pancakes, but these were surprisingly good. They were light and fluffy, and the syrup was the perfect amount of sweetness. I would definitely make these again.

The pancakes were good, but the syrup was a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try using a different syrup next time.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I might try using a different recipe next time.
