atole cakes

Celebratory breakfasts were in order so why not have pancakes and since it is me why not have pancakes with a southwestern flair?



I made buttermilk pancakes with blue corn meal and sunflower seeds. Blue corn meal was a breakfast staple for me at my grandmothers house, it was pueblo malt-o-meal as I called it, since we bought the corn meal on the pueblo, but it is actually called atole. My grandmother made it just a little thicker so it was a cereal rather than a drink, and if I asked for atole I got the drink not the cereal.



Anyway on to the pancakes. I sifted together the normal pancake ingredients but with the addition of blue corn meal and hemp nuts.
(I know, I know, so uncarnivourous of me but we dont have to eat meat all the time)



The pancakes turned out real nice and a magical drop landed and got cooked up to resemble a little heart, ready, all together now......awhhhhhhhhhh.
