    Fluffy, crispy, FANTASTIC. I cut the recipe in half and wasn't sure if the 30 minutes needed to be refridgerated, but I put it in the fridhe and cut strawberries. AMAZING results!!!

    I was visiting a friend in Florida, her mother had bought blue corn meal and I decided to make blue corn pancakes just like the ones I love at Sophia's in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I looked up blue corn pancakes and what do I see first but the recipe for the pancakes I already love from Sophia's. I decreased the salt(in honor of keeping my perfect blood pressure to just a pinch and cut the recipe in half. The pancakes came out just as fabulous as the ones I eat here at Sophia's in Albuquerque. I like to make my toppings light and used a bit of honey, a bit of butter, organic pecans and half a banana. I can't wait to tell Dennis Apodaca the chef how great his pancakes are even when he doesn't make them. YUMMM

    My husband and I were in Albuquerque overnight in August and I remembered Guy Fiori's show highlighting Sophia's Place. We visited on our way to Santa Fe. It was, as Guy promised, a 'dive' -- a few picnic tables outside and mismatched tables and chairs inside; and as Guy also promised, it was well worth the visit. All of the food was cooked with love and care. (Guy said they make their own butter!

    I got these pancakes and I loved them; my mouth watered when I saw the recipe here. I cut the recipe in half but there was still enough batter to feed four or five people. I didn't find blue corn flour and substituted yellow corn meal and the results were great -- a very slightly crunchy texture as I remembered from Sophia's Place.

    I cut down the baking powder but that might have been a mistake -- my pancakes came out thinner than the ones at Sophia's.

    I made Pinon butter (pine nuts sauted in a bit of butter and served with that, some fresh berries and maple syrup as they did at Sophia's. (I had mine with the pinon butter and blueberry preserves -- I think maple syrup drowns out the taste of pancakes.

    Yum!
