🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or dairy-free alternative), melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. You can use butter or cooking oil to grease the surface.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Leave some space between each one.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You should see bubbles forming on the surface before you flip them. If they're browning too quickly, reduce the heat.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
The best memories are made gathered around the table, especially when pancakes are involved. These gluten-free cornmeal pancakes bring a touch of Southern comfort to any morning.
