Whole-Grain Cornmeal Pancakes

Sometimes my daughter-in-law’s parents, who are farmers in Georgia, give me fresh cornmeal and I use it to make these whole-grain cornmeal pancakes. Hearty and full of flavor, these are super easy and are sure to start your day off right. Serve with fresh fruit and pure maple syrup for an extra treat. There’s nothing like a good hearty whole-grain pancake for breakfast, or for any time!
