Cornmeal Blueberry Griddle Cakes

Step 1

Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Step 2

Whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla, and lemon zest in a second bowl, then stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until no dry streaks remain.

Step 3

Fold in the blueberries and let the batter stand for 5 minutes so the cornmeal can hydrate.

Step 4

Melt a little butter on a hot griddle or skillet, then cook the batter in 1/4-cup rounds until bubbles set around the edges.

Step 5

Flip once and cook until the centers are springy and both sides are golden.
