CORNMEAL PANCAKES 
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup Bob's Red Mill stone ground cornmeal
1 1/2 cup buttermilk or 1 cup sour milk
2 eggs
1 cup sifted all purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil

In a mixing bowl, pour boiling water over cornmeal. Stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Pour in milk. Add eggs, beating after each addition.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir into cornmeal mixture. Add oil.

Beat for 30 seconds or just stir to mix.

Pour batter onto a hot griddle or large skillet wiped lightly with butter or oil. Bake for 1 or 2 minutes per side; flip once.

Serve with melted butter and maple or brown sugar syrup.

Cooks Note: To sour milk, add 1 tsp. white vinegar to 1 cup milk. Batter consistency may need to be adjusted by adding a tsp. extra flour at a time if batter is too thin, or a tsp. extra buttermilk if mixture is too thick for easy pouring. As batter sits it may also require adjustment.

Delicious. B/C of shortage of corn meal we added flaxseed meal. AMAZING. the best pancakes we have ever had (we used whole wheat pastry flour FYI). Also used lime to make the sour milk instead of vinegar. Made a double batch and could have eaten all of them between the two of us, but had company. Mmm. Can't wait for next time.

I used this recipe for a pancake dinner type of evening. Just as I hoped, they were much more hearty than typical pancakes and were perfect for evening. My husband actually used the exact word "hearty" to describe them. My two year old loved them, too!

I made this recipe today for the first time. I was a little concerned at the apparent "heaviness" of the batter, so I cooked them a little hotter than regular pancakes. They were by far the best pancakes we ever had. They were nice and light and fluffy. The melted butter and syrup gave them a completely different flavor than regular pancakes. This recipe is definitely a keeper, and my new go-to pancake recipe...
Thanks so much for sharing it

They were easy to make and the taste was great, but they were very wet and took a long time to cook and flip without crumbling.
