Great recipe! We chose these to serve smothered in chili and cheese for dinner. I remembered having pancakes like this when I was growing up. Found this nice recipe to be just what I was looking for. Thanks for posting

Dh and I both loved these pancakes. The cornmeal gives them a distinctive taste that we thoroughly enjoy. I froze them as recommended and Dh pops one in the toaster for his breakfast before work.

For some reason, my pancakes came out very dry. I made the recipe. I have a problem with my cornbread coming out like that, too. The idea is good though. I may try adding more flour in proportion to cornmeal, another egg, or adding some fruit for more moisture. I'll also study the other cornmeal pancake recipes for ideas. The flavor was fair enough but the dryness detracted from my enjoyment.

These were pleasant tasting, but a bit too thick and heavy for my taste. I felt as though I'd eaten a hockey puck, the way it sat in my stomach. I may try them again with a bit more moisture. Thanks for posting.

This recipe was o.k. I had to add sugar to sweeten them up a little bit, without the sugar they were very bland. Even with the sugar there was a very little difference between these and normal pancakes, couldn't really taste the cornmeal at all.
