Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk - full fat
  • ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • maple syrup or honey for topping

Instructions

  • In a large bowl,  combine together with a whisk  the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt baking powder and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and butter. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until incorporated. If the batter seems too thick you always add a little more buttermilk if you feel you need it.
  • Spray a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  • When hot, pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the skillet.  You want the pancake to be about  4 inches in diameter. Adding 1/3 cup at a time, just don't overcrowd your pan. I can do about 4 in my skillet at a time.
  • Cook the pancakes until the bubbles begin popping on top and they are golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Flip over the pancakes  and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is also golden brown. Be easy when flipping them over.
  • Before you start the next round, I like to wipe out the pan just using a paper towel and then start again.
  • Top with butter, maple syrup or honey.

Notes

If you only have salted butter, then simply leave the salt out of the recipe.
