This batter is thicker than normal, thanks to the addition of cornmeal. The bubbles that usually indicate when to flip a pancake will not form, so flip when the edges start to set.

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toss blueberries with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Brush griddle with melted butter. Spoon batter onto griddle 1/3 cup at a time. Sprinkle with sugared blueberries, about 2 tablespoons per pancake. Cook until edges are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter and blueberries, adding more butter to griddle and keeping prepared pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven. Serve with orange-maple butter and maple syrup.

I thought this batter was very watery and made for very thin pancakes, not crazy about the texture although the taste was great

What a recipe- and the orange/cornmeal combo make for perfect breakfast. My blueberry gene activated in Maine at a young age, and remains very much intact! I'm a '2 cake' gal, until this morning! Can definitely say '# 3 cakes' is perfect portion for this one! Leftover batter's ready and waiting for later in the week! Thanks!

I modified the recipe some and got great results. I mixed all the wet ingredients separate from the dry and combined the two together. I also substituted whole wheat flour for the white. These are delicious!

Shake up that buttermilk before measure! I had to generously wisk my dry to eliminate lumps prior to wet dry mix. I also had no issue with thin pancakes when I did this . I find I do not exact level my bp or flour . I use frozen berries.

I would describe this more as a crepe batter than a pancake batter. I added more flour until I got to a thicker consistency. Next time, I will try adding more cornmeal and flour to keep the crunch of the cornmeal. These turned out delicious and I definitely will make them again.

This is one of my favorite pancake recipes! But I wouldn't say tthey are thick! When I make them they are on the runny side. Anyone else experience that?

Our new go-to pancake recipe. Great with blueberries or chopped fresh peaches. There is something about the slight crunch of the cornmeal pairing with warm maple syrup that is hard to beat. Plus these are light, flavorful, and won't weigh you down. A lovely recipe.

These are delicious, and the cornmeal is a nice change in the pancake. Very fluffy and tender.
