Cornmeal Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup was a happy mistake. I was really making blueberry syrup for my grilled peaches, but let’s just say the peaches didn’t make it from the grill. So I couldn’t waste good homemade blueberry syrup. I had to make pancakes.
Cornmeal pancakes are so fluffly, so delicious, and so good. They have a little texture I crave. Pancakes are always a little one dimensional so it deserves some texture.
This blueberry syrup is made with lemon, honey, butter and a little bit a cinnamon. You won’t miss the Aunt Jemima with this tasty homemade syrup.
