Blue Corn Pancakes

Prep time: 10 Minutes
Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups blue cornmeal
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1½ cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup canola oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl or large 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 wet mixture. Fold together with a spatula until just combined — don't overmix. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and grease lightly with cooking spray.
  • Scoop about 2 heaping tablespoons of batter per pancake and spread gently into a 3–4 inch circle.
  • Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Flip and cook another 3 minutes until golden and the center feels slightly firm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Plate and serve!
