Blueberry maize meal pancakes
Blueberry maize meal pancakes are a super delish way to start the day and they are particularly perfect for pancake day that falls on pancake Sunday. Spring is around the corner and these pancakes give me all the feels with a SA twist in the mix. I never really used maize meal in many recipes except for making porridge or as a side dish to a braai, but this add into these fluffy pancakes are absolutely genius. Maize meal a.k.a cornmeal is corse, fluffy when cooked and ad’s that sturdy factor to a recipe.
