Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and then cooled
  • 1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries rinsed and dried

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees and set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven.
  • In a small bowl whisk the milk and lemon juice together. Set aside to thicken. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add the egg and the melted butter to the milk mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredient and add the wet ingredients. Whisk very gently until just combined. There should be a few lumps remaining, be careful to not overmix.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet (I like cast iron) over medium heat until shimmering. Use a paper towel to carefully wipe the oil around the bottom and sides of the pan. Using 1/4-cup measuring cup add batter into the pan in 4 places (1/4 cup each). Top each pancake with 1 tablespoon of blueberries. Cook the pancakes until large bubbles begin to appear, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Use a wide thin spatula to flip the pancake over and cook it on the other side for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until both sides are golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack in the oven and repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve with pure maple syrup.
