cornmeal pancakes


who doesn't love pancakes? decided to change up regular pancakes by making cornmeal pancakes. i still have half a bag left of cornmeal. i wonder what else i can make?

1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 medium egg
oil for frying

In a good sized mixing bowl combine the cornmeal, sugar or honey, and salt. Add the boiling water. The cornmeal will swell up into a lumpy mess. That’s alright, don’t worry about it. Stir the lumpy mess vigorously with a whisk or fork until it is a thick batter. Let it cool down a little bit. Add the flour, baking powder, milk and egg. Keep stirring the batter until it is nice and smooth. Drop the mixture by 1/3 cupfuls onto a hot, greased skillet. Fry until the underside is golden brown, and the top side bubbles a bit. Turn the pancakes over and continue frying until well browned.
