    Cornmeal pancake is a soft and fluffy breakfast option. It is a great lunch box dish for school kids.

    Pancake is hubby's favorite weekend breakfast.  I had already Posted Eggless Pancake and Eggless Whole Wheat Strawberry pancake. Had yellow cornmeal in pantry so tried cornmeal pancake with yellow corn meal and whole wheat. It is healthy and yummy breakfast for adults and kids. My toddler loved this cornmeal pancake.

    Whole Wheat - 3/4 cup

    Sugar - 3 tablespoon (I used brown sugar) Adjust sugar according to your sweetness

    Salt - 1/8 tsp

    Wet Ingredients:

    Milk - 1 cup + 3 tbsp

    Egg - 1

    Vanilla - 1 teaspoon + 1/2 tsp

    Butter -  2 tablespoon + 1tsp, melted

    • Heat an iron skillet or a non-stick pan on low to medium heat. Reduce heat to low and pour a ladle full of batter in the center of the pan. Do not spread the batter. Allow it to spread on its own. Add little butter around the edges. Cook the pancake on low medium heat for half a minute or until bubbles appear over the pancake
    • When the pancake turns to a nice golden shade, flip it over and cook for half a minute and transfer to the serving plate
    • Serve warm, topped with butter/honey/Maple Syrup/Powdered Sugar/Caramel syrup/butterscotch syrup/Fruit syrup
