How to Make Cornmeal Pancakes With Honey And Black Pepper

  1. In a heat-safe bowl, combine 1 cup cornmeal, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 cup boiling water.
  2. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 1 large egg.
  5. Once the cornmeal mixture has cooled slightly, gently stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the softened cornmeal mixture and ½ cup of fresh or frozen corn kernels (optional).
  7. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  8. Melt ½ tablespoon butter on the hot griddle.
  9. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, leaving space between each.
  10. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form and pop on the surface.
  11. Repeat until all batter is used.
  12. Serve immediately, drizzled with honey, and sprinkled with freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of coarse sea salt.
