Chef Maribel grew up in Texas with warm corn cakes, sweet fruit jams, and the kind of comfort food that wraps around you like a hug. This dish is her homage to those mornings—fluffy corn cakes inspired by her Latin roots, topped with a loose-set berry jam that’s bright, buttery, and made to linger. A Southern heart with a Latin soul.
They were a tad dry for my taste, but I loved the fruit compote

Excellent breakfast, like a flat corn muffin.

When I opened the package, the top pancake looked perfect… when I lifted it, I found the bottom pancake burnt.
The berry compote was delicious but the corn pancakes crumbled & completely fell apart.
