VERY good!! Made pancakes instead of waffles and used a gluten free flour mix for the all purpose flour (rice flour and tapioca starch) and they turned out wonderful. My blue cornmeal didn't fade, it looked funny, partly golden brown from frying with blue freckles :lol: Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for 1-2-3 Hits.

Absolutely deeelish! Made exactly as written. Disappointing that my blue cornmeal faded to barely detectable in the recipe but there is only one type in my local markets (Arrowhead Mills Organic). I'm going to keep my eyes out for another brand for the future. Thank you so much :)
