Cornmeal Pancakes with Honey Butter

These delightful cornmeal pancakes combine traditional pancake flavors with a subtle twist of texture from cornmeal. Fluffy and slightly sweet, they are served with a creamy honey butter that enhances the natural sweetness, making them perfect for breakfast or brunch. Simple yet satisfying, they are a treat for the whole family.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pancake mix
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons softened butter (for honey butter)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, cornmeal, sugar, and baking powder.
2. Gradually add water and melted butter, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
6. For the honey butter, in a small bowl, mix softened butter and honey until well combined.
7. Serve pancakes warm with honey butter on top.
