Cornmeal Pancakes

🌽 Cornmeal Pancakes

INGREDIENTS

Dry Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 ¾ cups buttermilk (or 1 ¾ cups milk + 1 tbsp vinegar, rest 5 min)
3 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional but nice)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare dry mix

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

cornmeal
flour
sugar
baking powder
baking soda
salt

Cornmeal tends to clump, so break up any lumps.

2. Prepare wet mix

In another bowl, whisk:

eggs
buttermilk
melted butter
vanilla

Make sure the melted butter isn’t piping hot to avoid scrambling the eggs.

3. Combine

Pour wet ingredients into the dry.
Stir just until combined.
Batter should be thick but pourable. Add 1–2 tablespoons more milk if too thick.

4. Cook

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly butter or oil it.
Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake.
Cook until edges look set and small bubbles form on top (about 2 minutes).
Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden.
Repeat with remaining batter.

SERVE WITH

Butter + maple syrup
Honey butter
Fresh berries
Fried apples
Savory style: serve with bacon, eggs, or sausage gravy

TIPS & VARIATIONS

Southern-style (coarser): Use stone-ground cornmeal and reduce flour to ¾ cup.
Sweeter: Add ¼ cup sugar or a splash of maple syrup to the batter.
Blueberry cornmeal pancakes: Fold in ½–1 cup fresh blueberries before cooking.
Crispier edges: Let batter rest 10 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal.
Gluten-free: Replace flour with a GF all-purpose blend.

Old Fashioned Pancakes

🥞 OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES RECIPE

These pancakes are slightly thicker, richer, and more flavorful than basic pancakes because they use buttermilk, melted butter, and a classic ratio of dry-to-wet ingredients that creates a nostalgic, diner-style texture.

🧈 INGREDIENTS (Makes 8–10 pancakes)

Dry Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar; rest 5 minutes)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but adds warmth)

🔪 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

Flour
Sugar
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt

This ensures even rising and fluffy pancakes.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk:

Buttermilk
Egg
Melted butter
Vanilla (if using)

Make sure the melted butter is slightly cooled so it doesn’t cook the egg.

3. Combine Wet + Dry

Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl.

Gently stir using a spatula.
Stop mixing when the batter is just combined.
It should be slightly lumpy—this makes pancakes light and tender.

Let the batter rest 5 minutes (optional but recommended).

4. Heat the Pan

Warm a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Brush lightly with butter for that old-fashioned flavor.

5. Cook the Pancakes

Scoop ¼ cup batter onto the hot surface.
Cook until bubbles appear and edges begin to set—about 1–2 minutes.
Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.

Repeat, buttering the pan lightly between batches.

🍽️ SERVE

Serve warm with:

Soft butter
Maple syrup
Honey
Powdered sugar
Fresh berries

Old-fashioned pancakes pair beautifully with crispy bacon or sausage.

⭐ TIPS FOR PERFECT OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES

Don’t overmix the batter—this is the #1 cause of flat pancakes.
Buttermilk creates the classic old-style tang and tenderness.
Cook on medium, not high; they brown too fast otherwise.
Let the batter rest briefly for extra fluffiness.
