Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 (makes about 16 pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, separated and at room temperature
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the skillet
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Blackberries, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined to make a thick batter.
  • In another bowl, whip the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Use a rubber spatula to fold the whites into the batter just until no white streaks remain.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter. Working in batches, drop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the tops of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to the oven to keep warm and continue to make more pancakes, brushing the skillet with butter as needed, until all the batter has been used. Serve the pancakes with blackberries and maple syrup.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup fine yellow cornmeal, such as Quaker
1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal, such as Bob's Red Mill
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk, shaken
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 extra-large eggs
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
3 cups fresh corn kernels (4 ears) (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus extra for serving
1 1/2 tablespoons seeded, minced jalapeno pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) clarified butter, for frying (see Cook's note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the fine and stone-ground cornmeals, the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 tablespoon salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and Sriracha.

Sprinkle with salt and serve warm with a sprinkling of minced chives.

CORNMEAL-BLUEBERRY PANCAKES



Cornmeal-Blueberry Pancakes image

Pancakes are so easy to make that they encourage experimentation. Enter this cornmeal-blueberry variation, which feels like a weekend treat but is well suited for the weekday morning rush. Here, 1/2 cup of cornmeal is swapped out for a portion of the all-purpose flour, giving the pancake a wonderful texture. Make sure to dust the blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter; it will ensure even distribution of the fruit across the pancakes.

Provided by Alison Roman

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup/80 grams cornmeal
1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons/45 grams sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons/6 grams baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons/9 grams baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons/43 grams unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups blueberries
Vegetable, canola or coconut oil for the skillet

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving toward the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat. (Lumps are fine.) Coat your blueberries in a teaspoon of flour so that they don't sink, then stir them into the batter. The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
  • Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to overcrowd the cooking surface.
  • Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES



Cornmeal Pancakes image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup milk
Soft butter for greasing skillet or griddle and for serving
Warm maple syrup

Steps:

  • Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat the egg with the melted butter and milk. Stir into the dry ingredients. The batter should not be perfectly smooth.
  • Heat a griddle or skillet, and brush with butter. Drop a generous tablespoonful of the batter into the pan, cook over medium heat until lightly browned, turn and brown the other side. If this first pancake turns out well, put it on a warm serving platter. But often, the first pancake serves to season the pan and does not brown evenly. It is best discarded before getting on with cooking the rest. Brush more butter on the griddle or skillet as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your pancakes a better flavor and texture.
  • Grind your own cornmeal: If you have a grain mill, you can grind your own cornmeal. This will give you the freshest and most flavorful cornmeal possible.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk helps to make the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cornmeal pancakes include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They can be served with a variety of toppings and are a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a special brunch dish, cornmeal pancakes are a great option. So next time you're in the mood for pancakes, give cornmeal pancakes a try!
