Description

These yummy pancakes are a cross between regular and cornmeal, and the easy-to-make blackberry syrup gives them a yummy edge. The lovely cornmeal color is the icing on the cake.

Ingredients

  • Pancakes
  • 1-½ cup (scant) All-purpose Flour
  • 1-½ cup Heaping Yellow Cornmeal
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2-¼ cups Whole Milk (more If Needed)
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 3 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • Blackberry Syrup
  • 1 pint Blackberries
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ½ cups Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • Extra Butter For Serving
  • Maple Or Pancake Syrup For Serving (optional)

Preparation

Mix together flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix milk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients, stirring gently.

Stir in melted butter. Set batter aside. If batter is overly thick, splash in a small amount of milk.

In a saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes on low. Stir in cornstarch, then continue cooking, using a whisk or spoon to mash the larger pieces of blackberries. Remove from heat when it’s nice and thick.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. When heated, drop 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Stack three pancakes, placing a pat of butter between each pancake. Drizzle with warm maple syrup, then spoon blackberry syrup over the top. Dig in!

Awesome! I tried the pancakes only. We have been looking for a good cornmeal pancake recipe and this one filled the bill. Not too sweet, fluffy and just plain good.

The whole family loves these – the texture the cornmeal adds is fabulous. My young boys are always requesting them, “cornbread pancakes, please!!” Thanks for the great recipe!

Not my family’s favorite pancake recipe, but it was good and we liked the texture the cornmeal added. I didn’t make the blackberry syrup so maybe that would have given them 5 mitts. This recipes makes a ton – 4 servings means each person gets about three 4-inch pancakes.

These are perfect. I made the pancakes only and used maple syrup instead. They were the perfect sweetness and didn’t become too sweet when you added the syrup. If you love cornmeal pancakes this is a must try!

Tus review is just for the pancakes, I didn’t make the syrup. They were great- my new favorite pancakes! If you like cornbread, you will love these.
