Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal Look for finely ground cornmeal for a smoother batter.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour You can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Adjust to your taste.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensure it’s fresh for the best rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Sea salt works beautifully here.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk Using whole milk will give a richer flavor.
  • 2 large eggs Let them come to room temperature.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Unsalted butter recommended.
