By gibsonashlee

You can make this ahead of time and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator so that it will be ready for breakfast each morning.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 5 tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 tbsp. corn meal (optional)
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1 cup buttermilk, plain yogurt or sour cream
• 1 cup milk
• 6 tbsp. melted butter or shortening

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.

Whip egg whites, set aside. Beat egg yolks and stir in milk. Beat in flour mixture. Add melted butter or shortening.

When thoroughly combined, fold in beaten egg whites.

If batter is too thin, add a tablespoon of flour; if batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of extra milk, adjusting the batter until it has the consistency of very heavy cream. The batter may thicken upon standing and may require adjustment again.

Serve dotted with butter, drizzled with maple syrup or topped with a spoonful of marmalade or fruit.
