Sweet Corn Cakes with Blueberries will make any morning special.  Serve them with syrup, maple butter or honey-butter and fresh fruit.   This batter doubles nicely for making waffles.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3/4 CUP MASA HARINA
  • 1/2 cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1/2 cup YELLOW CORNMEAL
  • 3 TABLESPOONS SUGAR
  • 1 TEASPOON SALT
  • 1 TEASPOON BAKING POWDER
  • 1/2 TEASPOON BAKING SODA
  • 1 1/2 CUPS BUTTERMILK
  • 2 LARGE EGGS
  • 2 TABLESPOONS OLIVE OIL
  • 1 cup FRESH BLUEBERRIES, WASHED AND DRIED
  • EXTRA BLUEBERRIES FOR SERVING WITH CAKES

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. Spread the Masa Harina in a small baking pan (I use a round cake pan).  Bake until fragrant and golden, stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the masa harina, cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
  4. Whisk together in a separate bowl, the eggs, buttermilk and oil.
  5. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk just until the batter is thoroughly incorporated.  The batter will be thick and continue to thicken for about ten minutes.
  6. Preheat a non-stick griddle over medium-high heat.  Once heated, lightly coat griddle with baker’s spray.  (I prefer Bak Kleen.) 
  7. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle and gently spread the batter out to make a 4” pancake.  Sprinkle each pancake with 5-6 blueberries.  Cook until bottom is golden and small bubbles begin to appear on top of pancake and pop,  about 3-4 minutes.   
  8. Flip over and continue to cook until second side is golden, about 3 minutes more. 
  9. Wipe blueberry juices clean from pan before proceeding with next batch.
  10. Serve with syrup and fresh berries.
