Cornmeal Pancakes are extra hearty and filling. Heating the cornmeal with buttermilk in the microwave helps soften the cornmeal and get rid of some of the grittiness that can often overtake cornmeal pancakes. Cornmeal Pancakes can be kind of dense but this recipe partners baking powder and baking soda to help give some lift to the batter. Be sure to let the batter sit for 10 minutes before cooking. The baking soda needs some time to do its stuff.
