Ingredients
Sweet cornbread mix
1 (7 ounce) package (Choose a sweet variant or corn muffin mix.)
Baking mix (Bisquick)
2 tablespoons (No preparation needed.)
Large egg
1 (Beaten.)
Milk
2/3 cup (Use whole milk for a richer flavor.)
Instructions
1
Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough that drops of water 'dance' across the surface.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet cornbread mix and baking mix. Use a whisk to thoroughly break up any lumps, ensuring an even mixture.
3
Add the beaten egg and milk to the dry mix and gently stir with the whisk only until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay, as this will keep your pancakes tender.
4
Lightly grease the heated griddle with butter or non-stick spray.
5
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden, about 2-3 minutes more.
6
Remove from the griddle and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
7
Serve warm with butter and your favorite syrup or honey for drizzling.
