Cornmeal Yogurt Blueberry Pancakes
These blueberry pancakes have all the appeal of latkas, without the frying.
This being Chanukkah, I trust we have plenty of chances to eat more than our fair shares of latkas: You will love my latkas recipe, complete with all tips on frying sensibly and effectively.
My blueberry pancakes are the perfect recipe to play with gluten-free flour. Don’t be surprised that I use frozen berries, unsweetened of course! My favorite: ready, sweet, delicious, always available, and always affordable. I made them with all-blue cornmeal, and they were delicious but they took on an ink-deep blue color, so I decided to make them with regular cornmeal and got the same delicious flavor but more pristine look above. You can easily make these pancakes dairy-free by using any dairy-free milk and yogurt.
You will love the pleasing grittiness of cornmeal in these pancakes!
