Directions

1

Mix 2 tablespoons orange juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir a few drops of the blackberry sauce into the cornstarch mixture. Pour cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
7

Whip 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon honey together to make honey butter.

Melt 1 teaspoon butter on a griddle over medium-high heat. Drop 1/4 cup corn cake batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Top warm corn cakes with a some honey butter and a drizzle blackberry syrup.
