Polenta Pancakes (recipe adapted from newyorktimes.com):
½ cup Delta Grind cornmeal
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 cup AP flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1¼ cups milk
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1¼ cups milk
olive oil for skillet
Whisk cornmeal with 1 1/2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, whisk, lower heat, and whisk for a few more minutes until it is thickened. Set aside. Whisk dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then stir together until just combines. Brush skillet or double-burner pan with olive oil. Set to medium heat and pour on batter for pancakes. When they bubble, flip them.

Pear, Clementine, and Vanilla Bean Compote:
2 yellow pears
3 clementines
1 tbsp. vanilla sugar or raw sugar
half a vanilla bean
Peel ripe yellow pears and dice them. Squeeze the juice and pulp of 3 clementines over them. Add sugar. Slice open and scrape out half of a vanilla bean into the mix, and then throw it in and stir. Heat for one to two minutes. Pour over polenta pancakes along with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
(Oh, yeah -- we recently took advantage of a really good deal on vanilla beans on amazon.com -- just $15 for an entire bag!)
