This might be good with alterations but it was really runny and did not make nicely shaped pancakes. They ran all over the griddle. I thought 2 1/4 C of buttermilk was a lot for the amount of flour and cornmeal but followed directions and I was right. It also needs a little more salt; not a lot of flavor

I feel honored to have the opportunity to be the first person to review this wonderful recipe! We had something similar while we were on vacation in Maine last month, but I think it was made with a mix. This is the real thing. It is very filling - just great to carry you through until lunch time. I noticed my baking powder was past its expiration date, but fortunately, that had no ill effects on the pancakes. Thank you so much, Chris from Kansas!
