Corn pancake recipe **esp Allison**

Welllll up until tonight it was a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix according to the "corn pancake" directions on the box. However if you don't have Jiffy corn muffin mix I found a recipe in the Joy of Cooking cookbook which I did modify because it was too soupy for my liking. Here it is with my modifications:

1 3/4 c. cornmeal (orig recipe is 1 1/4 c.)

1 1/2 c all purpose flour (orig recipe is 3/4 c.)

1 3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

(I add 1 tbs cumin and 1/4 c of scallions to make them tex-mex style to go with my chili, you could also add whole kernel corn)

Whisk together 

1 3/4 c milk

1/2 stick butter, melted (1/4 c)

1/4 c maple syrup or honey

2 eggs

Whisk the wet ingredients together, then add wet into dry ingredients and blend. If it's too soupy add more cornmeal to get a thickish consistency.

Personally I like the Jiffy better, but I had to improvise tonight. You could easily cut the milk down and keep the dry ingredients based on the original measurements. If I perfect the scratch ones I'll post it again :-) It's easier if you have cornmeal around regularly to just mix this from scratch b/c it's all pretty basic pantry ingredients.

Re: Corn pancake recipe **esp Allison**

  • Thanks Lisa!  So if I make this with a box of Jiffy, then that is the sub for the top 4 ingredients? 
  • Basically, but there are measurements for the wet ingredients on the box and no sweeteners added. I definitely would follow the box instructions (I think it's less milk and can't remember if it's 1 or 2 eggs . . . not as much butter either I think)
