Blueberry Masa Harina Pancakes

Fresh summer corn is super fantastic awesome. Well, except two things: worms and shucking.

A pile of fresh picked ears look and smell so inviting.

Fear and frustration come between me and buying a bunch to take home.  If only there were an in-home corn shucking service.

Anyway, no shucking involved in Blueberry Masa Harina Pancakes.

Sunday Supper theme this week is corn. Seeing it announced brought a smile to my face.

Like I mentioned, fresh summer corn is super fantastic awesome.

Heck, even frozen corn ranks high on the delish scale.

So what to make? Hmmm…. Then I remembered the corn pancakes I made a while back.

Blueberry Masa Harina Pancakes are sweet, fluffy, and loaded with fresh blueberries. They have a delightful corn flavor and are gluten-free.

The corn pancakes I made before are on the savory side. They have jalapeño peppers and corn kernels inside.

This time I wanted to go on the sweet side. Blueberries came to mind first.

Also I wanted to call them masa harina pancakes. Why? Because calling them corn pancakes caused confusion.

What was the confusion? A southern bread called Johnnycakes made with cornmeal. I had a lot of folks thinking those savory corn cakes were Johnnycakes.

The difference is masa harina or corn flour. It looks and feels like regular flour. Masa harina is finely ground and not gritty.

Blueberry Masa Harina Pancakes are sweet, fluffy, and loaded with fresh blueberries. They have a delightful corn flavor and are gluten-free.

Blueberry Masa Harina Pancakes are sweet and fluffy. The texture is like a regular pancake.

The big difference is flavor. You’ll immediately taste corn. It’s a nice change from the usual.

How about more corn recipes? Scroll way down to find ones by Sunday Supper tastemakers.

Also take a look at my Elote (Mexican Grilled Corn), Spicy Corn Casserole, Corn and Tomato Pizza, Hatch Chile Shrimp Corn Chowder, and Grilled Corn Relish.

They’ll make you want to head to the market and get a bushel or two of corn.

I’ll be heading for the bin of pre-shucked ears. Avoiding worms and corn silk is my plan.

  10. Enjoy pancakes with butter and maple syrup.

Recipe Notes

Masa harina is corn flour and commonly labeled as "Instant Corn Masa Flour" on the packaging. Do not substitute corn starch or cornmeal for masa harina.

    Due to husband’s dietary restrictions I can’t use sugar and he dislikes artificial sweeteners. I often substitute a fruit jam (sweetened with juice only) for sugar. Any suggestions for which one – cherry, blackberry, apricot? Or could use apple juice concentrate. Thanks.

      Forgive me in that I am not very knowledgeable in natural sugar substitutes. I’d probably start with applesauce and see how it goes. Fruit jams may work and I’d pick a flavor that goes well with blueberry.

    Great idea to use masa! I always have a bag in my pantry for tortillas. I so agree on the worms. I have thrown away so much corn because that is so gross to me. I’ll stick with the masa 🙂

    Your recipe for Masa Harina pancakes was delicious however I did have to amend the recipe as by your measurements the dough was so thick I couldn’t pour it let alone drop it onto the griddle. I added another tbsp of oil and about another third of a cup of milk in order to have dropping consistency and then they were delicious!
    Thanks!

    I live in a central american country with a celiac daughter. Have you ever tried it with actual masa? where the corn if freshly ground and therefore already wet? We are very limited in the types of flour we can find here. Rice flour or Corn are the most affordable and the rest are imported and very expensive to purchase here.
    If it´s possible, how do you think the recipe would be modified? Just only add liquid as needed to get the right consistency?

    WOW!! So delicious and crispy! I did use a little extra milk since mixture was dry (Nd subbed the sugar for brown ha) but wow, what a great way for me to use up my masa 🙂 mom always buys it for tortillas doesnt use it all too often so this is awesome. Also great qay to use up the 4 pound bag of frozen my grandma gave me! My family loved these! Great recipe
