Cornmeal Pancakes

Cornmeal pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast dish, offering a unique texture and flavor that is both hearty and satisfying. Served with maple syrup or fresh fruit, these pancakes are a perfect way to start your day.

Ingredients

• cornmeal - 1 cup
• all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup
• baking powder - 2 teaspoons
• sugar - 2 tablespoons
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• milk - 1 cup
• large egg - 1
• unsalted butter, melted - 2 tablespoons
• vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

7. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit.
