Cornmeal Pancakes Recipe

I had a big box of yellow cornmeal left after making corn muffins a while back so I decided to use them to whip up some pancakes for breakfast. The first time I made these cornmeal pancakes, they tasted a little gritty. This time, I par-cooked the cornmeal by pouring hot boiling water over it and I’m just surprised by how much the texture of the pancakes have improved. They are really fluffy!

2. Place cornmeal and brown sugar in a bowl and pour hot boiling water in it. Stir to combine, then leave to cool.

And here’s what I prepared for my husband this morning…
