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.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES

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:

  • For fluffy pancakes, make sure to separate the egg white from the yolk and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Then, gently fold the beaten egg white into the batter.
  • To prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or grease the pan with cooking spray or butter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as chili, butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal pancakes with chili topping are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The pancakes are fluffy and flavorful, and the chili topping adds a spicy and savory kick. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
