Cornmeal Pancakes

This week we just randomly pulled a recipe from mother’s box of hand written recipes and thus Sunday dinner was Cornmeal Pancakes.

Cooking from mother’s stash of handwritten recipes is a wonderful way to honour and remember a woman who loved to feed her family.  Food was one of the last pleasures she had.  

Mother and Great John loved to cook for each other or go out to their favourite restaurants.

We changed two things in this recipe, we used whole wheat flour and added a teaspoon of vanilla.  The cornmeal flavour shines through and goes well with spicy sausage, we used Italian Turkey sausage.

Ingredients:

1 cup flour, white or whole wheat

1 cup cornmeal

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

 1 ¾ cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Oil

Directions:

Combined all of the dry ingredients

Hand beat together the milk, eggs and vanilla

Add wet ingredients into the dry mixing – do not over mix

Heat a skillet and add enough oil to keep batter from sticking

We used a ½ cup measuring cup to pour our batters onto the hot skillet

This recipe made 7 dinner sized pancakes
