Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the skillet)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb some of the liquid, which helps create a tender texture.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Leave space between the pancakes to prevent them from spreading into each other.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the cornmeal pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
