PUFFY CORN PANCAKE WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the butter in the bottom of a 2-quart gratin dish. Place in the oven and cook until butter begins to bubble, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour and cornmeal. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry. Whisk in honey, salt and pepper. Stir in the corn. Remove dish from the oven and pour in the batter evenly. Return to the oven and bake until the pancake rises and is dark brown around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. The center of the pancake should also be golden brown.
• While the pancake cooks, make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until berries are soft and syrupy. Remove from heat and serve warm, spooned over pancake in the gratin dish.

KENYAN PANCAKES WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the blackberry sauce: Combine the blackberries, juice, honey and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat until the berries have burst, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the blackberry mixture to a blender and puree. Return the blackberry sauce to the pan.
• Whisk the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water together in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the blackberries and cook over medium-low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• For the Kenyan pancakes: Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center and add the milk, water, eggs and coconut oil. Starting from the center and working your way outward, whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until combined and very few lumps remain. Set aside.
• Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add a 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil or butter to the pan, swirling to coat the bottom. Pour 1/3 cup of the pancake batter into the skillet and spread into a thin layer with the back of a spoon.
• Flip the pancake once it turns golden brown on the bottom, adding a small amount of coconut oil or butter to the bottom of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Keep the cooked pancakes warm and covered between two plates. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of blackberry sauce over a pancake and roll it up. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and serve.

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.
