Discover the Unique Taste of Blue Corn Piñon Pancakes
Our Blue Corn Piñon Pancakes are a delicious twist on a classic favorite. Made with blue corn masa, these pancakes have a distinctive corn flavor that sets them apart from traditional pancakes. The term “masa” refers to a traditional corn dough made from ground corn, commonly used in tortillas and tamales. When mixed into our pancake batter, blue corn masa gives the pancakes a nutty, slightly sweet taste, reminiscent of fresh corn muffins.
These pancakes are soft, fluffy, and slightly denser than regular pancakes, offering a delightful contrast of texture. When topped with a drizzle of syrup, they achieve a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors that is uniquely New Mexican. Adding piñon nuts—a local delicacy from the high desert—provides a subtle, buttery crunch and enhances the earthy flavor of the blue corn.
At Tortilla Flats, our Blue Corn Piñon Pancakes reflect our dedication to celebrating the culinary traditions of New Mexico, using locally sourced ingredients and preparing each dish with care. Pair them with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and savor the taste of Santa Fe’s finest breakfast.
