I’m still using up that bag of cornmeal and remembered how amazing cornmeal pancakes are – Crispier and more cake-like than normal pancakes. How could I forget how divine they can be? And so quick to make – This batch were measured, made and photographed in 10 minutes! Now currently being devoured by Millie as I type. The perfect after school snack.
I’ve served them with bacon & maple syrup but they are equally good with whatever pancake topping you usually use.

Oh, I love the look of these. I’m not really a fan of traditional pancakes so I wonder if I would like cornmeal pancakes better.
They are really cakey – I think Baby would love them! x
These sound and look great, the only thing I’ve ever made with cornmeal is cornbread. I must experiment!
I haven’t ever actually made cornbread and that is what I originally bought the cornmeal for! x

Those look so good Helen, they remind me of breakfast in New York on our honeymoon an amazing number of years ago #weekendbrunchclub
