Prep Time:
5 minutes
Total Time:
15 minutes
Makes:
6 Servings
Ingredients
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup whole grain pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (see tip)
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
3 cups berries such as raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter milk, egg, oil, and maple syrup. Add to the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, oil, and maple syrup. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until blended.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat. Pour the batter by scant 1/4 cupfuls into the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, or until tiny bubbles appear on the surface and edges begin to look dry. Flip and cook for 2 minutes, or until golden. Place the flapjacks on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
- Coat the skillet with cooking spray. Repeat with the remaining batter to make a total of 18 flapjacks.
Serve the flapjacks with berries.
**Tip** For cooking purposes, it is fairly easy to create a homemade buttermilk substitute. This will be cut down on your caloric intake and reduce saturated fat in your recipes. For every 1 cup of regular milk add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar, mix and let sit in room temperature for 20 minutes. One can also add 1/4 cup plain yogurt to 3/4 cup milk, mix and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
