This is a recipe from a cafe in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are good with maple syrup or, if you're ambitious, with homemade peach or raspberry spread. This recipe serves four people, fewer if they're very hungry.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup blue cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 beaten egg
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the blue cornmeal, salt and sugar. Stir in the boiling water until all of the ingredients are wet. Cover, and let stand for a few minutes.
  • In a measuring cup, combine the milk, egg and melted butter. Stir the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cornmeal mixture until just incorporated. If the batter is stiff, add a little more milk until it flows off the spoon thickly but smoothly.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, and grease it with a dab of oil or butter. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Quickly sprinkle a few pignoli onto each cake. When the entire surface of the pancakes are covered with bubbles, flip them over, and cook the other side until golden. It's hard to tell when blue food is cooked through--so give them a few extra seconds if you're in doubt.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup of fruit preserves.

BLUE CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY BUTTER



Blue Cornmeal Pancakes With Blueberry Butter image

This tart-but-sweet butter brings an extra hue of cerulean to dusty-blue cornmeal pancakes, but it also happens to be our favorite butter for muffins or scones.

Yield Makes 14-16 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

Blueberry butter:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ cup fresh blueberries, washed and thoroughly dried
2 teaspoons blueberry preserves
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of kosher salt
Pancakes:
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 or grapeseed oil
Nonstick cooking spray
Maple syrup

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.

Steps:

  • Preheat a nonstick griddle. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of the milk in a medium bowl until combined, then stir in the melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries. If the batter seems too thick, add some of the remaining milk.
  • Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until the bottom is light golden brown, flip, and continue cooking for about 30 seconds. Remove to an ovenproof plate and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Serve 3 pancakes per person with a dollop of orange-honey butter, cinnamon maple syrup, and bananas. Garnish with blueberries dust with confectioners' sugar.

BLUE HEAVEN BANANA PANCAKES



Blue Heaven Banana Pancakes image

This is my version of the banana pancakes from Blue Heaven in Key West, FL. I've eaten there so many times and miss their delicious pancakes. It's not their exact recipe, obviously, but I think I got the flavor and texture almost exactly right!

Provided by Tropical Texan

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 8 4-5, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup whole milk
1 egg, beaten
2 medium very ripe bananas
2 tablespoons oil or 2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
chopped walnuts (I like to toast them first) (optional) or pecans (I like to toast them first) (optional)
1 cup maple syrup or 1 cup cane syrup, heated
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Beat egg until fluffy. Add milk and oil/melted butter. Add vanilla.
  • In another bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
  • Take bananas out of skin and cut into very small pieces (1/2"). They do not have to be perfect, and do not worry about then getting a bit "mashed".
  • Add dry ingredients gradually to egg mixture.
  • Add cut bananas (and toasted nuts, optional).
  • In a non-stick 8-10" skillet, heat pan to medium. Pan is ready when water dances on surface.
  • Pour batter in pan using ladle or pitcher, forming a pancake approx 4-5" wide.
  • When the edges start looking a little "matte" and the pancake is bubbly, flip. When you see steam start "wisping" from the edges of the pancake, it is done.
  • Top with syrup (mix ingredients above and heat in microwave for 30-45 seconds), whipped cream, or more bananas and nuts.

BLUE CORN-PINON PANCAKES WITH APRICOT-PINON COMPOTE



Blue Corn-Pinon Pancakes with Apricot-Pinon Compote image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 cup chopped fresh or dried apricots
1 to 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground Mexican cinnamon (canela) or other ground cinnamon
1 drop pure almond extract
1 cup water
1 1/4 cups pine nuts
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup blue or other cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 drops pure almond extract
Vegetable oil, for pan frying

Steps:

  • Prepare the compote: Warm the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the pine nuts and saute until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully; they will continue cooking off of the heat and can burn easily. In a saucepan, combine the apricots, corn syrup, cinnamon, and almond extract with 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the sauce is fairly thick and spoonable, about 10 minutes. Stir in the pine nuts. Keep the compote warm or let it cool to room temperature.
  • Start the pancake batter, placing 3/4 cup of the nuts in a food processor and pulsing briefly until ground. Avoid processing the nuts so long that they turn to butter. Add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt and pulse to combine just until a coarse meal forms. Spoon the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the butter until it disappears. Add the eggs, milk, almond extract, and remaining nuts. Warm a griddle or a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Pour a thin film of oil onto the griddle. Pour or spoon out the batter onto the hot griddle, where it should sizzle and hiss. A generous 3 tablespoons of batter will make a 4-inch pancake. Make as many cakes as you can fit without crowding. Cook the pancakes until their top surface is covered in tiny bubbles but before all the bubbles pop, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a bit more oil to the griddle as needed. Serve the pancakes immediately, accompanied with the warm compote.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes on medium heat: Cooking the pancakes on medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Blue pancakes are delicious with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Blue pancakes are a fun and easy way to enjoy blueberries for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a blue pancake recipe that you'll love.
