My Photo of the Day: Cornmeal Pancakes.

My husband really loves pancakes and since he’s not here whenever I make them, I think of him. I’m pretty sure he could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if given the chance – with crispy bacon and a generous amount of pure maple syrup and butter. I like pancakes enough, but I can’t say that I love them as much as he does.

I was in the mood for some cornmeal pancakes this morning, after taking a walk in the snow that fell last night. I love how I can see my breath and the crunch of the snow underneath my boots. What better way to warm up than with a hot mug of café con leche and fresh cornmeal pancakes?

I didn’t use a recipe, I just eyeballed it. I used sprouted cornmeal flour, homemade kefir & butter, vanilla extract, a touch of baking powder, and sea salt. I wanted them to come out thin enough so that I could roll them, so the batter was runny. I rolled them up while they were still hot and topped them with butter and pure maple syrup. So satisfying.

If you need to use a recipe when you cook, here’s a cornmeal pancake recipe from Mark Bittman. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks good.
