Blue Corn Pancakes Food

BLUE CORNMEAL PANCAKES

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 CORN AND BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat griddle or nonstick skillet to medium and oven to 200°.
• Whisk dry ingredients together in a large bowl; set aside.
• Combine buttermilk, butter, and egg yolks in a measuring cup. Whisk wet ingredients into dry until thoroughly moistened.
• Beat whites in a bowl with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff but not dry. Gently fold whites into batter until combined.
• Lightly brush preheated griddle with vegetable oil. For each pancake, pour a scant 1/2 cup batter onto griddle and sprinkle with some blueberries. Cook until bubbles form on surface and bottom is golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip pancakes and cook about 2 minutes longer. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm in oven; repeat with remaining batter and blueberries.
• Serve pancakes with syrup, and pecans.

BLUE CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY BUTTER

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.
