I had blue corn pancakes at the La Fonda hotel in Santa Fe. My husband took us for our second anniversary and I fell in love with the food, scenery and culture. These are a bit heavier than regular pancakes, a combination on savory and sweet. We returned last year for a visit and I remembered how much I enjoyed them. You can order blue corn on Amazon. Bob’s red mill also has blue corn.
