Tender, slightly crispy cornmeal pancakes studded with fresh blueberries, topped with a rich maple butter infused with bourbon and a touch of vanilla. A sophisticated breakfast that's both comforting and elegant.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cup blueberries
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
  • 0.25 teaspoon fleur de sel
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Small lumps are fine. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine softened unsalted butter, maple syrup, bourbon, and fleur de sel over low heat. Stir until smooth and warm, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and keep warm.
  5. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface with vegetable oil.
  6. Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour batter onto the hot griddle, spacing cakes about 2 inches apart. Cook for 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
  7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for 2 more minutes until the second side is golden brown.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a serving plate. Repeat steps 6–7 with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
  9. Stack warm pancakes on individual plates, drizzle generously with the maple bourbon butter, and serve immediately.
