Servings: persons

1 cup maple syrup
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 pint fresh blueberries, blackberries or raspberries
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely ground cornmeal
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of grated nutmeg
2 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
Unsalted butter, for serving
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

1
Make the syrup: Heat the syrup and both halves of the vanilla bean in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
2
Just before the mixture comes to a simmer, remove from the heat, stir in the berries and set aside for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3
Remove the vanilla bean before serving.
4
Make the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in large bowl.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs and oil.
6
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just blended.
7
Leaving a few lumps will result in fluffier pancakes.
8
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
9
Add enough oil to grease it lightly and leave a film on the bottom of the pan.
10
Working in batches, ladle the batter, about 1/2 cup at a time, into the pan.
11
Cook until the pancakes are golden brown on the bottom and bubbles start to form on top, about 3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking another 2 minutes.
12
Repeat with the remaining batter.
13
Put the finished pancakes on a sheet tray and let sit in the oven to stay warm as you finish.
14
Serve topped with the berry syrup, butter and confectioners' sugar.
