By á-48214

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 heaping cups yellow cornmeal
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 1/4 cups whole milk, plus more if needed for thinning
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted, plus additional melted butter for the skillet
• Pats of butter, for serving
• Maple syrup, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vinegar, vanilla and eggs. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Stir in the melted butter. If the batter is overly thick, splash in a small amount of milk.
Heat 1 tablespoon melted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. When hot, drop in 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Continue with the remaining batter, using more melted butter as needed
Stack some pancakes for each serving, placing a pat of butter on top. Drizzle with warm maple syrup if desired,
