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

FLUFFY YOGURT PANCAKES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Rotate it regularly to make sure it's evenly heated.
- Once it's hot, turn down the heat to medium and maintain a hot surface. (You want a drop of water to bounce or dance on it but not splatter or explode-that's too hot). Adjusting the heat and maintaining an even pan temperature is the key to evenly cooked pancakes.
- While the griddle or pan heats up, make the batter. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs.
- Add the yogurt-egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Stir in the melted butter or oil. If the batter is too thick (which can happen based on the consistency of the yogurt that is used), slowly add 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk.
- Brush or spray oil onto the hot griddle or pan. Spoon the batter into even cakes and cook until bubbles form on the surface of the cakes, about 2 minutes.
- Using a spatula, flip the cakes over and cook until they are golden brown on the other side-about another 2 minutes. Working in batches, only cook as many pancakes as will fit on your pan without touching.
- Transfer the pancakes to a platter or individual plates.
- Serve pancakes hot, with butter, maple syrup , honey, or jam as you like.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES USING YOGURT
I got this recipe from a container of Dannon Light & Fit. They are surprisingly good. The recipe suggested strawberry or vanilla yogurt but I plan on experimenting with different flavors. I think peach would be really good, suggestions are always welcome :)

Steps:
- whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, then stir in raisins, stir together yogurt, egg and oil with a fork in another bowl and stir into flour mixture until blended,.
- Heat a lightly greased large nonstick skillet or griddle over moderately low heat until hot.* It took forever for the first couple batches to cook. Since I always preheat my griddle for awhile I think it's because the batter is so cold and thick. Next time I'll leave it out until it gets closer to room temperature.
- Pour 1/4 cup measures of batter into skillet in batches.
- Cook about 3 minutes or until golden, turn and cook 1 minute more.
- Serve immediately or transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 250*F oven while cooking remaining cakes.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH GLAZED ORANGES AND CRANBERRIES
Steps:
- 1. Finely grate the zest from one of the oranges and set aside. Trim the ends from both oranges then cut away the peel and white pith. Working over a bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane with a paring knife to remove the segments. Discard any seeds. Cut each orange into segments. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl.
- 2. Put the cranberries and 1/4 cup orange juice in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until cranberries plump and liquid is absorbed, about 45 seconds. Set aside.
- 2. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt in a medium bowl. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Transfer the melted butter to another bowl and whisk in the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, and orange zest until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
- 3. Heat some butter in the skillet and drop 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake and bottoms brown, 4 minutes. Flip and cook, until the other side is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm.
- 4. Increase the heat to medium-high and pour the remaining orange juice and marmalade into the skillet, bring to a simmer. Add the orange segments and cranberries, then swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until glazed, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in mint. Top pancakes with the glazed oranges. Serve.
