20 Reviews of Cornmeal pancakes

Dh and I both loved these pancakes. The cornmeal gives them a distinctive taste that we thoroughly enjoy. I froze them as recommended and Dh pops one in the toaster for his breakfast before work.

    I made these for brunch today, just as written, very tasty. The slightly earthy flavor was very satisfying. I got 20 2-3" diameter cakes out of this and am going to freeze the rest as suggested. The flavor and texture of the cornmeal makes for a very versatile cake. We ate these with two different toppings, one sweet and the other savory. First we spread them with a little plain yoghurt and strawberry jam. Then we came up with the idea of topping a plateful with fried eggs that had been cooked with a little chopped green onion, cracked black pepper and a little cheddar cheese shredded over the top, and a dash of habanero chili sauce. Both complimented the pancakes very well, though overall I think we preferred the savory topping (takes some "healthy" points off, though!). In future I would want to try this "huevos rancheros" style, adding some refried beans or maybe some black bean and corn salsa, with the pancakes substituting for tortillas. I also might try cooking a sprinkling of chopped green (roasted) chiles into each cake. Will be making this many times, I'm sure, thanks for the recipe!

    These were good, but not exactly what I was hoping for. They were not a sweet pancake and didn't have as much of a cornmeal texture as I would have liked. I got 16 saucer sized pancakes. They were soft and moist and would make a great addition to a meal, but I preferred the Cornbread Pancakes Cornbread Pancakes, for breakfast. Thanks integrity1st, I will try these with some chili, cheese and sour cream.

    These were a great change from the usual pancakes; a lot like a pancake version of corn meal mush with the syrup over it. It went over well with the kids even though they were skeptical at first. I think they would also be great as a savory base; will try that next time. Thanks for posting!

    Sometimes we like pancakes for dinner and these fit the bill. Both kids, even my fussy 11yo enjoyed them. They were surprising filling, light and tasty, even though they did not rise much. Will definitely move to my keeper file

    I expected a rather heavy but tasty pancake. I was so surprised how light these were and how delicious. They reminded me of Johnny Cake" that my Mom made years ago which she served with maple syrup. Definately going into my permanent recipe file.

    I'm a diabetic and I am surprised that these pancakes are really low carbohydrate which keep my blood sugar steady. Somehow I would recommand to heat them up with microwave instead of toaster oven to keep them not too dry but soft.

    These pancakes were just what I was craving — a slightly dense, hearty, earthy version of a pancake. Delicious!
