Pancake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well-combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes hot with whipped cream, berries, sprinkles, and chocolate chips for a fun topping.
