Cornmeal Pancakes

Sorry for all the posts today. It has been a crazy week of sickness and drama.

I don't know what I was thinking when I went to the store last weekend, but I negelected to get some of the needed supplies. So by the time we got to the end of the week we had no butter, 1 egg, no oatmeal, not enough flour, and the list goes on. I had to get creative for breakfast today. I remembered a long time ago seeing a recipe for cornmeal pancakes on the side of the cornmeal bag....of course, when I checked it was a different bag and only had a recipe for cornbread, so I wondered if I could just substitute cornmeal for flour using our regular pancakes recipe. I tried it and it came out pretty well!

1 egg
1 1/4 c buttermilk (or milk with 1tsp vinegar)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c flour (it's all I had!)
3/4 c cornmeal
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp melted butter or oil
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla

• Heat griddle. Spray with cooking spray, then wipe with a cold wet cloth (a trick I learned at the hibachi grill nearby-ha)
• Combine ingredients until smooth
• Spoon onto  griddle using 1/4c measure. 
• Flip over when bubbles appear
