Ingredients

• 1 cup Fine yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• None as needed Cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg. Stir in the molasses, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy, and that's okay.

Step 4

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between batches as needed.

Step 8

Serve warm, topped with butter, maple syrup, or your preferred pancake toppings.
