Huckleberry Cornmeal Pancakes

By Hklbrries

Blueberries may be substituted if desperate.

Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup fresh huckleberries (or frozen berries, thawed)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine cornmeal, sugar and salt in large bowl. Stir in boiling water; cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

In small bowl, beat egg, milk and butter together until smooth. Pour into cornmeal mixture along with flour and baking powder, stirring quickly, only until combined. Add huckleberries, gently mixing.

Use 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter for each pancake, cooking on heated griddle or electric skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges become dry. Turn and cook 2 minutes longer, or until nicely brown on second side. Serve with whipped butter and syrup.
