  • Perfect for sharing: Ideal for gatherings or cozy family breakfasts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • Ketchup (for serving)
  • Your choice of creamy dip (e.g., sour cream, yogurt, or ranch dressing)

How to Make Savory Cornmeal Pancakes

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  5. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve hot with ketchup and your choice of creamy dip on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh for optimal fluffiness.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like chives or parsley to the batter.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in a preheated oven (200°F) while cooking the rest.

Easy Variations

  • Add shredded cheese to the batter for a cheesy twist.
  • Incorporate cooked bacon or sausage bits for added heartiness.
  • Swap out some milk for buttermilk for a tangy flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh fruit salad for a sweet contrast.
  • Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory pairing.
  • A simple green salad to lighten up the meal.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave until warmed through. For best results, reheat in a skillet over low heat to maintain their texture.
