Corn pancakes, also known as Johnnycakes or maize pancakes, are a classic dish with American and Caribbean origins dating back to Indigenous peoples who first cultivated corn as a staple grain. These pancakes are made using cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk, and a touch of salt or sugar, resulting in a hearty, slightly sweet flavor. They are often enjoyed as breakfast or a side dish, sometimes paired with honey, syrup, or savory toppings like cheese and vegetables. Cornmeal, the base ingredient, is rich in fiber and essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, depending on preparation and toppings, they can be high in added sugar or fat. Corn pancakes stand out as an approachable way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of whole grains while embracing a historic and versatile food tradition.
