Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the blue cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Cook Batter

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat until all batter is used.

Blueberry Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook Blueberries

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the blueberries begin to burst and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Thicken Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the blueberry sauce and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Serve

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with the blueberry sauce, and top with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
