Ingredients

• 1 cup Blue cornmeal
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 1 Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blue cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter, repeating the greasing process as needed.

Step 8

Serve the blue cornmeal pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
