Course: Breakfast Goodies
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup of yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea or table salt
  • 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter plus more for buttering skillet
  • 1 cup of buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup of roughly chopped strawberries

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a whisk.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the bottom of a medium bowl, then whisk in the buttermilk, followed by the eggs, one at a time.
  • Gently stir in the strawberries and pour the strawberry-buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Heat a large skillet (cast-iron is my favorite for pancakes) and melt butter or oil over medium to medium-low heat (my burner is intense, so medium-low for me).
  • Spoon or pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bottoms are golden and bubbles appear all over top, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden, another minute.
  • If you’re not going to eat them right away, you can spread them on a baking sheet and keep them warm until needed in a 200-degree oven, but I highly recommend drenching them in butter and maple syrup and devouring.
