Blue Corn Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup blue or yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 large eggs, beaten to blend
• 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
• Salad oil

Preparation

1. 1. In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in milk and eggs until blended, then whisk in butter.
2. 2. Place a nonstick griddle or a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat (350°); when hot, coat lightly with oil and adjust heat to maintain temperature. Spoon batter in 1/3-cup portions onto griddle and cook until pancakes are browned on the bottom and edges begin to look dry, about 2 minutes; turn with a wide spatula and brown other sides, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer. Coat pan with more oil as necessary to cook remaining pancakes.
3. 3. Serve pancakes as cooked or keep warm in a single layer on baking sheets in a 200° oven for up to 15 minutes.
