I was short on pancake mix some time ago and came up with the idea to add cornmeal.
Use your preferred pancake mix, whether from scratch or pre-mix. the ratio we prefer is to add 1/2 the amount of the pancake mix you normally use, IE; 1 cup pancake mix, 1/2 cup cornmeal. You may prefer a bit more or less and I've used and like up to a 1 to 1 ration but it is a bit on the strong side then.
Add the appropriate amount of liquid to get the consistency you prefer. I prefer a bit thinner batter and use a 1/4 cup measure to pour out the batter and that makes the right size for me. Cook just a bit longer on the first side, letting the top get a bit drier than with standard pancakes.
Really good with pure Maple Syrup.
