I like to joke that these pancakes are so light, you have to hold them down! When we have a chance, we'll make them with freshly ground cornmeal bought at local festivals.

With the initial recipe, I found these to be too salty and a little eggy. I did decrease the salt after reading prior reviews but they were still too salty. With several modifications they were amazing:- doubled sugar to 4 tablespoons- 2 egg whites instead of whole eggs- 1/4 cup melted margarine instead of oil- 1 tsp vanilla- i added maybe a tablespoon extra of milk and a tsp extra of margarine to compensate for the omitted egg yolks

I thought these were really good. My husband didn't care for them as much, but he has his own recipe that he likes to make for pancakes.I would definitely make these again. I put a little butter and grape jam on mine instead of pancake syrup. They were nice and thick and yummy. :D

These are great -- very light and tasty! Really nice fluffy texture. I made them with "Skim plus" milk and about 3/4 tsp of salt, but otherwise followed the recipe to a T. They remind me of my favorite pancakes at Cafe Luluc on Smith St in Brooklyn. Yum!

Love this cornmeal pancake recipe! It is soooo delicious. I made a few changes and had positive results. My pancakes turned out light and fluffy. The only thing that I might do differently is add a bit more moisture. They were just a touch dry. Not really noticeable but I know they can probably be a little moister.My changes were: brown sugar instead of white and added vanilla and lemon extract. A teaspoon of vanilla and 3/4 of lemon. I also held back on the salt just a little.The trick to pancakes that are light and fluffy is just stirring until it is moist and still pretty lumpy and not stirring anymore at all. 1/3 measuring cups make great sized cakes.

Sweet and salty. They were nice but not as fluffy as I wanted them to be. But I will still make again!

This is the same recipe I have used for over 35 years. But, forget the syrup. Spread on the butter and eat like a piece of bread with chili, stew or a pot of beans.

These were very good. The texture was perfect, and they are pretty quick and easy if you're trying to find something to please a hungry crew.

If you are looking for a hearty pancake with a great taste, then this is it. We added a mashed banana, which made it even better!

I tried this recipe one morning for my husband before work. I had to sit and ejoy these pancakes! They were very soft and tasted wonderfully. The consistency of the batter made it easy for me to spoon it on the pan and they cooked quickly. Thank You!!
