Fluffy Cornmeal Pancakes

  • 1 cup of Haven Brand Cornmeal (5 ounces cornmeal; 142 grams)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (4 ½ ounces; 127 grams)

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (1 ⅓ ounces 38 grams)

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs (out of shell: about 4 ounces; 113 grams)

  • 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cup milk

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • Nonstick cooking spray or unsalted butter for greasing the griddle

  • Optional Add-ins: Blueberries, chocolate chips, etc

Make the Batter: Whisk cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Mix the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to your dry ingredients, and whisk until smooth.

Heat the Griddle: Lightly oil a nonstick griddle. Heat griddle over medium-high heat. 

Cook the Pancakes: Pour batter, approximately ¼ cup, onto griddle. Batter should sizzle when it hits the pan. Cook for approximately 3 minutes. Flip pancakes when bubbles appear all over the surface of the pancake and begin to pop. The pancake should begin to look almost dry. Flip and cook another 1 to 1 ½ minutes.

Serve: Serve with butter and syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
