Blue Corn Pancakes with a Blueberry Bonus

Blue Corn  Pancakes
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups blue cornmeal (available in Whole Foods and Latin markets)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (sometimes I use buttermilk if available)
2 eggs

Note: you may add an additional 1 cup of fresh  blueberries and a pinch of cinnamon if you wish

Use a cast iron skillet or comal to make the pancakes.  First,  melt the butter and set aside in a separate dish. Then place cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt in mixing bowl.  In another bowl place milk, eggs and the melted butter. Combine dry ingredients with egg/milk mixture and stir. Add blueberries and cinnamon if desired. In medium hot skillet measure out enough to make  3-4inch size pancakes. Allow to cook about three minutes and then flip. Please do not ruin the exquisite taste of these pancakes with anything less than a good maple syrup and, if you are lucky enough to live where you can get lovely wild blueberries, use them. They are the best!
