Cornmeal Flapjacks

Makes 16 3-inch flapjacks

Enjoy these sunny golden pancakes with fruit preserves, fresh fruit, or maple syrup.

  • 1 cup fortified soy- or rice milk 
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup 
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal 
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 
  • 1/2 teaspoon sodium-free baking powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1 vegetable oil spray 

In a large bowl, mix non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and vinegar. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to non-dairy milk mixture, stirring just enough to remove any lumps and make a pourable batter. Add a bit more non-dairy milk if batter seems too thick. 

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle, then spray lightly with vegetable oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the heated surface and cook until tops bubble. Turn carefully with a spatula and cook the second sides until browned, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
