Don’t let the name of this recipe fool you—no need to wait until Saturday to make these incredible pancakes! The recipe, courtesy of Louisiana Cookin’ magazine, is as delectable as they get. You start by making a simple warm syrup from fresh blackberries and cane syrup; once the berries heat up in the syrup, they exude some of their natural sweetness and the results are a sweet purple-hued syrup that is simply irresistible. I love the texture of these pancakes; similar to johnny cakes because of the cornmeal-flour combination, these tender pancakes pair perfectly with the homemade berry syrup. What a wonderful dish to start any day off right!
