Description

Cornmeal Flapjacks are a Southern-inspired breakfast upgradeโ€”crispy at the edges, fluffy in the center, and full of rustic corn flavor. Perfect for sweet or savory toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup finely ground cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ยฝ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or oil (for batter)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add eggs, milk or buttermilk, and melted butter. Mix until just combined.
  3. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the cornmeal to soften.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Scoop ยผ cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Flip and cook the other side for 1โ€“2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Letting the batter rest improves texture. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Flapjacks can be frozen for up to 3 months.
