CORNMEAL PANCAKES

These buttermilk pancakes owe their incredible texture to cornmeal and whipped egg whites.

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.

I like to joke that these pancakes are so light, you have to hold them down! When we have a chance, we make them with freshly ground cornmeal bought at local festivals. -Betty Claycomb, Alverton, Pennsylvania

CORNMEAL PANCAKES (EGGLESS)



Cornmeal Pancakes (Eggless) image

Cormeal gives an excellent flavour to pancakes, although it makes them kinda hard to spread. Since these pancakes don't have sugar, they can be made either "sweet" or "savory" depending on what you have them with. They also taste great served hot right off the griddle!

Provided by Anu_N

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 10 pancakes, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups cornmeal
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt (If using salted butter, reduce the amount of salt, or omit it altogether)
1 cup skim milk
1/3 cup water (you might need more)

Steps:

  • Cream the cornmeal, salt, and butter together.
  • Add the milk and enough water to make a moist but firm batter.
  • Drop, using about 1/4 cup of batter, onto a hot greased griddle, and flatten using the back of a spoon wetted with water.
  • This can be a tad tricky, but wetting the spoon helps a lot!
  • When brown, turn and cook the other side.
  • Serve hot with maple syrup, honey, or butter.

BLUE CORNMEAL PANCAKES



Blue Cornmeal Pancakes image

This is a recipe from a cafe in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are good with maple syrup or, if you're ambitious, with homemade peach or raspberry spread. This recipe serves four people, fewer if they're very hungry.

Provided by UBERGRRL

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Pancake Recipes     Whole Grain Pancake Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup blue cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 beaten egg
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the blue cornmeal, salt and sugar. Stir in the boiling water until all of the ingredients are wet. Cover, and let stand for a few minutes.
  • In a measuring cup, combine the milk, egg and melted butter. Stir the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cornmeal mixture until just incorporated. If the batter is stiff, add a little more milk until it flows off the spoon thickly but smoothly.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, and grease it with a dab of oil or butter. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Quickly sprinkle a few pignoli onto each cake. When the entire surface of the pancakes are covered with bubbles, flip them over, and cook the other side until golden. It's hard to tell when blue food is cooked through--so give them a few extra seconds if you're in doubt.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup of fruit preserves.

Tips for Making Perfect Cornmeal Pancakes without Flour:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh cornmeal, buttermilk, and eggs.
  • Grind Your Own Cornmeal: If you have access to a grain mill, grinding your own cornmeal will give your pancakes a more authentic flavor and texture.
  • Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking helps the cornmeal absorb the liquid and results in a more tender pancake.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat prevents them from burning and ensures they cook evenly throughout.
  • Flip Only Once: Avoid flipping the pancakes multiple times, as this can make them tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are dry and bubbles start to form on the surface.
  • Serve Warm: Cornmeal pancakes are best served warm, with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal pancakes without flour are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people with gluten sensitivities. With their slightly sweet and nutty flavor, these pancakes are a great way to start your day or enjoy as a special treat. By following these tips, you'll be able to create perfect cornmeal pancakes every time. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite combination and make these pancakes a regular part of your breakfast routine.
