Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet or griddle. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 6

Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet or griddle as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
