Grandma Marys Cornmeal Pancakes Recipes

JORDAN'S CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a fork.
• Combine milk, egg, and oil in another bowl with a fork. Mix wet and dry ingredients together.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cup spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

OLD-FASHIONED CORNMEAL PANCAKES (SMALL BATCH)

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt. Set aside.
• In a measuring cup, mix together the milk and vinegar, stirring well; let sit for 5 minutes and stir again before adding to cornmeal mixture.
• In a small bowl or cup, beat egg and the water with a fork or small whisk. Melt butter. Set aside.
• Pour oil into a large cast iron or nonstick skillet; heat over medium/medium-high heat.
• While skillet is heating, add milk, egg mixture and melted butter to dry meal mixture; stir until well combined, but still has a few small lumps. Be careful not to over-mix (to avoid a tough corn cake.)
• Use a large spoon to drop batter onto hot skillet to form pancakes; fry until bubbles begin to appear on top, then flip to fry until pancake is cooked through and golden brown (about 30 seconds or so, depending on how hot your skillet is.)
• Remove to paper towel; repeat with remaining batter.
• Store leftovers in zipper bag at room temperature up to 3 days. Recipe may be doubled. You may substitute 1/2 cup buttermilk for the milk and vinegar.
