Pancakes and waffles are my husband and my favorite
breakfast food, especially with a side of bacon! I strive to find pancake recipes he can
experiment with and this was one of my favorites. The robust flavor of cornmeal makes these a
great recipe to make in the winter.
Mix the dry ingredients together ahead of time and
place in an airtight container, then on the day you want to serve them, add
only the liquid ingredients. It will save you time and mess. It
also makes a great gift idea too! Serve these with a real maple syrup to
bring out the natural cornmeal flavors. Makes 9 5-inch pancakes.
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
2
Tbls. sugar
1/2 cup
yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons
baking powder
3/4 tsp.
salt
½ tsp.
savory, thyme or marjoram (I like a mixture of thyme and savory together)
1 cup milk
5 Tbls.
unsalted butter
2 large
eggs, beaten
Vegetable
oil
In a large
bowl, thoroughly combine flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
Combine milk
and butter in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until butter melts. Let
cool to lukewarm, then beat in eggs.
Pour wet
mixture over dry ingredients and, using a wooden spoon, combine with a few
swift strokes. Don’t try to work out all the lumps, they will take care of
themselves in the cooking.
Heat a
griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot enough to make a few drops of
water bounce. Lightly oil griddle using a brush or paper towel. (You may need to re-oil the griddle between batches of pancakes.)
Spoon
enough batter onto griddle to make 5-inch rounds. Cook until bubbles on the
surface break and edges begin to look dry, about 2 minutes. Flip pancakes and
cook until bottoms brown, about 1 more minute. Continue until all pancakes are
made.
