Description

Cornmeal adds flavor and texture to this great-grandma's recipe for simple breakfast pancakes, ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, or more as needed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1 Combine sugar, 1/2 cup oil, and eggs in a bowl. Stir in flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in 1/2 cup milk. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir to desired thickness.
2 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the hot skillet; cook until bubbly on top and golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to make remaining pancakes.
