Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 1 hour ahead of time. Keep warm wrapped in foil and in the oven at 175° before serving.
How to Reheat: Place on a pan wrapped in foil and heat in the oven at 350° for 6-8 minutes or until hot. You can also heat in the microwave.
How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day, or until unfrozen, before reheating.
It is best to use finely ground cornmeal, but you can extend that to a medium or coarse ground as well.
To further enhance the flavor of these hoecakes, I would absolutely advise using rendered bacon fat instead of butter.
You can absolutely use milk in place of the buttermilk.
If you want to make your own buttermilk, simply mix 1 tablespoon of white distilled vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of milk.
You can also cook the hoecakes in butter instead of oil.

Blue Corn Pancakes with Pinon
Ingredients:
¾ cup blue corn meal, extra fine
½ cup boiling water
1 cup unbleached flour, or whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon ground flax
1 tablespoon protein powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup plant based milk (you can also use regular milk)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large egg
¼ cup toasted pinon (pine nuts)
Maple syrup
Directions:
1. In a bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients, except for the blue corn meal.
2. Add blue corn meal to a small bowl with the boiling water. Let it set for a couple of minutes.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together milk, olive oil, and egg.
4. Add corn meal mixture to the dry ingredients, and then add to milk mixture. Don’t overmix, some lumps are ok. If the mixture is too think, add a little water to thin it out.
5. Spray some canola oil in a skillet, or griddle, and spoon a ¼ cup of batter onto the pan. Using your spatula, or spoon spread the batter into a round circle.
6. Cook until bubbles start to form on top, flip and cook on the other side until it is golden brown.
7. Transfer to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil until you are ready to serve them up.
Serve with warm maple syrup and top with toasted pinon (pine nuts).
(To toast the pine nuts, add them to a dry skillet on medium heat, and stir constantly for about 1 minute.)
