CORNMEAL CREAM CHEESE PANCAKES WITH DRIED CRANBERRIES AND APRICOTS IN MAPLE SYRUP

For syrup:
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup B&R Farms Dried Apricots, chopped
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
For pancakes:
3/4 cup all purpose flour
½ cup yellow cornmeal
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup regular cream cheese spread (in tub; not whipped or block cream cheese)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 tblsp unsalted butter, melted

Make syrup: Simmer maple syrup and dried fruits in a saucepan, uncovered, until fruits are plumped, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in juice.
Make pancakes: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and soda, sugar, and salt.

Whisk together cream cheese and eggs in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Add flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
Heat a large griddle over moderate heat until hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface, then brush with some butter.

Spoon tablespoon of batter onto griddle, without crowding, to form 2½ inch cakes. Cook pancakes 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and puffed. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Make more pancakes in same matter, brushing griddle with butter for each batch.

Serve pancakes in stacks with syrup.
