Servings: persons

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup plain yogurt
½ cup milk
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries
1 12 pints blueberries
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon pure orange extract

1
Make the jam: add 1 pint blueberries, sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup; stir to blend.
2
Microwave on HIGH, uncovered, for about 3 minutes, checking once or twice; remove from oven when most of the berries have popped.
3
The jam will be quite thin but it will thicken as it cools.
4
Fold in the remaining 1/2 pint berries and orange extract; let cool to room temperature; cover and refrigerate.
5
The jam will keep in a tightly covered jar for 2 weeks.
6
Make the pancakes: In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
7
In another bowl, whisk the yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, orange zest, and vanilla together; mix well.
8
Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk, stopping when everything is just combined (dont worry if batter is a bit lumpy).
9
With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blueberries (batter will be very thick).
10
Lightly butter, oil, or spray your griddle or skillet.
11
Preheat over medium heat, or if using an electric griddle, set to 350.
12
Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto griddle for each pancake and use a spatula or the back of a spoon to lightly press the batter into rounds.
13
When the undersides are golden, flip the pancakes over and cook until the other sides are light brown (because the pancakes are thick, they need a bit more time to bake and you may not get the normal speckling of holes).
14
Serve immediately with blueberry jam.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
