Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup blue cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; lumps are okay.
Step 4: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
Step 5: Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Keep pancakes warm.
Step 6: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup pure maple syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until strawberries soften and syrup thickens.
Step 7: Serve pancakes stacked, topped with warm maple-glazed strawberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
