Grandma Marys Cornmeal Pancakes Recipes

FLUFFY CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the Batter. Whisk cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.
• Heat the Griddle. Lightly oil a nonstick griddle. Heat griddle over medium-high heat. P
• Cook the Pancakes. Pour batter, approximately ¼ cup, onto griddle. Batter should sizzle when it hits the pan. Cook for approximately 3 minutes. Flip pancakes when bubbles appear all over the surface of the pancake and begin to pop. The pancake should begin to look almost dry. Flip and cook another 1 to 1 ½ minutes.
• Serve. Serve with butter and syrup, if desired.
• Keep Pancakes Warm: To keep warm, preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place cooked pancakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

TACO-TOPPED CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Prepare taco filling: Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add condensed soup, ketchup, soy sauce, seasoned salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, parsley flakes, and paprika; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
• While the taco filling is cooking, prepare pancake batter: Pulse cornmeal in the bowl of a food processor until finely ground (like flour). Transfer to a large bowl and mix with milk, flour, melted butter, and salt.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/2 cup batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 more minutes.
• Top pancakes with warm taco filling, lettuce, Mexican cheese, and taco sauce.
