These Puebla-inspired blue corn masa hotcakes are amazing! You may not want regular pancakes ever again. This recipe makes 8 large pancakes, serves 4. If accompanying with eggs, bacon, etc., then serve 1 pancake per person.

 1 ½ cups blue corn masa flour
 ½ cup all-purpose flour
 1 tsp salt
 1 tbsp baking powder
 ¼ cup sugar
 1 ½ cups cow's milk
 2 eggs, lightly whisked
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
 extra unsalted butter for cooking
1

Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.

2

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Heat a large skillet on medium heat.

3

Add a dab of butter to your pan just enough for a pancake. Once it melts, add 1/2 cup of the batter to your hot skillet. Cook for about 1 min 20 seconds or until lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 1 minute and 30 seconds, making sure the edges get crispy soaking up all the butter. Set aside and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve. (You know your stove better than I do... these times are not exact so just cook the pancake until slightly golden on both sides and fully cooked.)

Serve with your favorite fruit and syrup!
