Corn Meal Pancakes GF

By MaryEllen

These gluten free cornmeal pancakes have a really lovely texture and enough flavor that they scarcely need much syrup or butter for serving.

• 2 tablespoons (42 g) honey
• 3 tablespoons (42 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat, or heat a griddle according to the manufacturer’s directions.

In a blender, place the milk, honey, melted butter, eggs, cornmeal, flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth. The batter should be pourable.

Grease the hot skillet or pan with about 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Pour or ladle the pancake batter on the hot skillet surface, taking care not to crowd the skillet or pan. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles begin to appear and the surface appears dry around the edges (1 to 2 minutes). Flip the pancakes and continue cooking for another minute, or until the underside is lightly browned. These pancakes cook more quickly than traditional flour pancakes. Remove the cooked pancakes and repeat with the remaining batter.

If you’d like, while you finish the batch, you can keep the cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven on a parchment lined baking sheet. Serve immediately with your favorite pancake toppings.
