Cornbread Pancakes
Description
The batter combines cornflour and brown rice flour with baking powder and baking soda for leavening, along with salt for balance. Wet ingredients include eggs beaten with buttermilk, oil or melted butter, pure vanilla extract, and maple syrup which provide moisture, flavor, and subtle sweetness. After mixing the dry and wet ingredients until smooth, the batter is cooked in a greased skillet over medium heat in quarter-cup portions.
Each pancake cooks about 1 to 2 minutes per side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges set, then flipped for a shorter time to ensure a soft, tender interior with a slightly crisp exterior from the cornflour. The pancakes can be enjoyed as a breakfast or a savory-sweet side, typically served warm with butter and honey to enhance their mild sweetness and moist crumb.
The recipe allows substitution of brown rice flour with regular all-purpose flour or gluten-free options, offering flexibility for dietary preferences.
