BREAKFAST: Delicate Cornmeal Pancakes

Really light, delicious cornmeal pancakes that my mom used to make for a special treat. Also great as blueberry pancakes.

I am copying this off of the recipe card in mom's handwriting from when I left home. The emphasis on using real butter is hers (and now mine!).
Source: Mom, probably from one of her old cookbooks originally.

● 1 cup flour
● 1 cup cornmeal
● 1 tsp salt
● 1 tsp sugar
● 1 tsp soda
● 1 tsp baking powder
● 3 eggs, separated
● 2 cups buttermilk
● 2 Tbsp melted BUTTER

1) Sift dry ingredients together.

2) Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored.

3) Add buttermilk to eggs yolks, then the dry ingredients.

4) Beat egg whites until just stiff and fold into mixture.

5) Bake on hot, lightly-greased griddle. Serve immediately with maple syrup; do not hold these pancakes or the texture will suffer greatly. Very good also, with blueberries sprinkled onto the cooking pancakes.
