Ingredients
1 1/2 c. cold water
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
unsalted butter
Lemon-Sage Brown Butter
pure maple syrup
1/2 c. stone ground cornmeal
1 1/4 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. rice flour
Preparation
Step 1In a medium saucepan, whisk the cornmeal into the cold water and bring to a boil, whisking. Simmer over moderate heat until thickened to a porridge, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the buttermilk and the egg yolk.Step 2In another bowl, whisk the all-purpose and rice flours with the sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk the dry ingredients into the cornmeal mixture. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the 2 egg whites with the salt at high speed until firm peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.Step 3Heat a large griddle. Brush the hot griddle with butter and ladle a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake, allowing a little space between them. Cook the pancakes over moderate heat until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until risen and browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes longer. Serve the pancakes immediately with the Lemon-Sage Brown Butter and maple syrup. Repeat with the remaining batter. Looking for more breakfast recipes?
