Fluffy pancakes made with nutty blue cornmeal, a traditional Southwest ingredient, served with honey.

Blue corn, golden morning

Blue corn gives these pancakes a toasty, nutty depth that white flour can’t match — a Pueblo staple, delicious with honey and butter.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and honey in another bowl.
  3. Stir the wet into the dry until just combined — lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a buttered griddle over medium heat and pour 1/3-cup portions of batter.
  5. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Serve with honey, butter, and berries.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Don't overmix or the pancakes turn tough. The batter thickens as it rests — add a splash of buttermilk if needed.
