Buttery Blue Corn Griddle cakes

Here is what you will need to create these comforting sweet southwestern morsels that will make your soul smile at any time of day:

-About 1.75 cups of blue cornmeal
- dash of baking soda
-dash of baking powder
-lots of butter
-generous quarter cup of maple syrup
-1/8 cup maple pecan syrup
-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-2 eggs
-Milk (pour in to create desirable consistency)


Mix dry ingredients. Cut in about 4 tablespoons of butter with a pastry cutter.

Whisk eggs separately, ad to dry ingredients. Mix. Mix in the syrups.

Ad milk until consistency of the batter is pourable but not runny.

Heat a skillet on medium low-heat until a generous layer of butter is melted and covering the bottom. Do not let the butter burn, and if need be, at a bit of oil to prevent burning.

Pour quarter cup measurements at a time into pan, and fry/flip until just cooked through and golden on each side. Re-apply butter to pan and adjust heat as needed.

Enjoy plain or serve with Pine nuts, friend platanos and fresh greek yogurt whisked with cinnamon and raw sugar.
