Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cornmeal, yellow
  • 1 1/2 cups cold water
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, well shaken
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, 9 ounces
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 F if you wish to keep batches warm to serve all at once.
  • Put cornmeal and cold water in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and continue to boil gently for 5 minutes. Turn the cornmeal mixture into a mixing bowl; stir the buttermilk into the cornmeal mixture.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda; stir to blend well. Add the flour mixture to the cornmeal mixture.
  • Beat the egg in a separate bowl and then add it to the batter along with the melted butter. Add extra buttermilk or regular milk if the batter is very thick.
  • Drop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto a hot greased griddle or skillet. Cook until the edge of the pancake looks dry, and the bubbles are popping. Flip to brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • If desired, place the cooked pancakes in a pan and move to the 200 F oven to keep warm while you are cooking subsequent batches.
  • The recipe makes about 24 pancakes, 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
