Cornmeal Pancake Hack: 

For best results, mash-up your recipe for Buttermilk Pancakes to get the most delicious Johnnycakes you've ever put in your face.

I use the following for 12 melt-in-your-mouth pancakes:

1 1/2 cups organic* cornmeal flour

1/2 cups organic all purpose flour

3 tblsp cane sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

1/4 cup whole milk

3 tblsp sweet butter, melted

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 

*If you fancy the healthier stuff, use organic wherever possible

Whisk dry ingredients together and do the same for wet (slowly adding melted butter). Incorporate wet & dry with whisk but do not over mix (your batter will be slightly lumpy).

Ladle approximately a 1/4 cup of batter to a coconut oil greased 350 degree griddle for each pancake. Allow for 1 -2 minutes, or until bubbles burst before flipping and an additional 1 - 2 minutes for the other side.

Serve immediately with butter and syrup of your choice. For extra fun, add shaved jalapeno and fresh corn to batter. For a Power Breakfast, top pancakes with black beans, poached eggs and pico de gallo.
