Everybody likes pancakes, especially with a side of bacon, sausage, and/or fried eggs.

Readers know that I like to throw a handful of frozen cranberries into the batter, and that I am particular about Maple Syrup - Grade B, not Grade A.

I also like to make cornmeal pancakes (as in photo). I tend to overweight the cornmeal/flour ratio, and I like to throw some canned corn or frozen corn into the batter. Good stuff.

Kids love it. They will grow strong, healthy, average or above-average, and attractive on this feed.

By the way, have you ever used molasses on pancakes? It's delicious, especially on cornmeal pancakes.

Mmmm, corncakes. That's really the only type of pancake I eat. I used to eat them every Saturday morning when I was a kid. Mom's not around to make them for me and so I haven't had them in many years. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've actually had breakfast in nearly a year. I seem to be more a 'once a day' eater recently and that meal seldom comes in the morning.

I too used to eat pancakes every Saturday morning as a kid. By the time I was 8 or 9 I learned to make them myself, from scratch, with a recipe of my mothers. Maybe I'm a bit of a chef like BD. Regardless I've never had cornbread pancakes that I recall. So this morning I made a batch mostly done like the recipe you linked. Thanks Mr Bird Dog. ;- )

I'm sorry, but I have to tell Michelle Obama about you. Nuthin personal of course, it's just that freedom to eat what you want is not what the founders had in mind when they wrote the constitution. True story.

Molasses is excellent. Cane syrup is great, too. Although, I've never seen the latter outside the Gulf coast.

A couple years ago, I bought some of this "artisan" maple syrup. Teenager small producer from Massachusetts. It is very good.

Cornmeal pancakes are great with sorghum too, especially if it's made by a neighbor the old way with horses in a circle, then cook the cane down to put in jars. Nothing like it. That's the pancakes I grew up with.

Must be a reference to Thurber: "A litter of perfectly healthy puppies raised on fried pancakes" http://accad.osu.edu/~jfry/thurber.html
