Cheesy cornbread pancakes are a deliciously savory pancake recipe that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! You’ll love the crispy edges and irresistible cheesy flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and oil.
On top of wet ingredients, add flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gently mix together before stirring into wet ingredients. Mix batter until just combined, some small lumps are okay. Fold in cheese.
Heat a griddle over medium-low heat. If desired, add a little oil or butter to the griddle.
Pour batter onto hot griddle in heaping 2 tablespoon portions. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until edges begin to look dry. Flip and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
