Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 4 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • tsp baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup buttermilk at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • extra butter for cooking

For Serving:

  • maple syrup
  • butter or honey butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add in the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  • Melt a pat of butter in a large skillet or griddle (or spray with nonstick spray) and heat over medium heat.
  • Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the griddle. Cook on one side for approximately 1-2 minutes or until the top of the pancake has bubbles all over that start to burst. Flip and cook for another 1 to 1.5 minutes until golden brown on each side. Add more butter as needed
  • Keep Pancakes Warm: To keep warm, preheat oven to 200° F. Place cooked pancakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and keep in the oven until served.

Notes

  • Using a measuring cup means your pancakes will roughly be the same size. I used ¼ cup but you can make them bigger or smaller!
  • Make your own buttermilk by mixing together milk and vinegar or lemon juice. It's super easy to do and I always do it in a pinch!
  • I don’t recommend letting the pancake batter sit for too long, I’ve noticed the pancakes aren’t as soft and fluffy if you let the batter rest before cooking the cornbread pancakes.
