Give these cornmeal pancakes a try when you want something a little different for that special breakfast or brunch. This cornmeal pancake recipe can be served with the traditional maple syrup, but are really great with fresh or frozen berries.

Makes 8 Cornmeal Pancakes

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup unbleached flour
  • 1 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup blueberries

Preparation:

Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking soda, sugar and salt in large bowl. Add egg, buttermilk and olive oil. Stir just until lumps disappear. Do not over mix. Pour batter onto hot (lightly greased) skillet or griddle forming pancakes. Note, this batter is thinner than a more traditional batter so form pancakes carefully. Cook until bubbles form and tops of pancakes look a bit dry. Flip and cook until second side is golden brown. Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup and fresh blueberries if available.

Scrumptious, Easy to Make; Delicious Cold too., Member Doukissa

Excellent pancakes with just the right amount of cornmeal vs. flour. I did, however, make some exceptions since I had no buttermilk on hand, I used 200 grams of Greek yogurt (10% fat) mixed with 1/2 to 1 cups of non-fat milk (or you can use water), organic brown sugar instead of white, and added 3/4 tsp of baking powder, although you might just omit if you prefer. I also added a bit of vanilla. Lastly, I did not add the 1tbsp of olive oil but used it in the pan to griddle. They were excellent, w/just the hint of sweet, delicious cold and for anytime snack.
