Cornmeal pancakes are a type of pancake made primarily from cornmeal, which is ground corn. They have a slightly gritty texture and a unique flavor that sets them apart from traditional flour pancakes. Often served for breakfast, they can be enjoyed plain or with various toppings like syrup, honey, or fruit. These pancakes are popular in many regions, especially in the southern United States, where they are sometimes referred to as Johnnycakes. They can be made with a simple mixture of cornmeal, milk, eggs, and baking powder, making them a quick and easy dish to prepare.
