Arizona Corn Pancakes

Arizona Corn Pancakes!  It's Saturday Morning as I write this and I'm in full breakfast mode.....
Humor me...


Pancakes are most often a sweet breakfast dish, but there's no reason you can't put a savory twist on the traditional morning treat.

In the Southwest, corn is a ubiquitous ingredient, and the slightly sweet, starchy vegetable works beautifully in a creative version of the beloved breakfast food.

The Lodge at Sedona, a quaint bed and breakfast, serves a massive meal every morning from 8:00-9:30am, and much of the menu features ingredients native to the region.

The Lodge's blue corn pancakes are just one way the staff takes the cuisine from ordinary to unexpected. The Mission, a restaurant serving up modern takes on classic Latin dishes in Scottsdale, uses the more common yellow corn for the savory pancake on its brunch menu, but tops it with sweet dungeness crabmeat, cilantro, and a smoky crema.
