My son likes pancakes so much that he started calling weekends “pancake days” when he was six; he’d eat these every day if he could. Add blueberries or sliced bananas to the individual pancakes once you’ve spooned the batter into the skillet, or serve with sliced strawberries.
| ⅓ | cup all-purpose unbleached flour | |
| ⅓ | cup finely ground cornmeal | |
| ⅓ | cup whole-wheat pastry flour | |
| ½ | tsp. baking soda | |
| ½ | tsp. salt | |
| 1 | Tbsp. brown sugar | |
| 2 | tsp. flaxseed meal | |
| 2 | eggs | |
| 1 | cup low-fat buttermilk (see Note) | |
| 1 | Tbsp. canola oil | |
| ~ | Blueberries, strawberries, and/or sliced bananas (optional) | |
| ~ | Maple syrup |
Flaxseed meal can be found in the baking section of your grocery store. If you have whole flaxseeds, grind two teaspoons with a propeller grinder to approximate flaxseed meal.
You can substitute milk mixed with yogurt, sour cream, or crème fraîche for the buttermilk. Use 1/2 to 3/4 cup yogurt, sour cream, or crème fraîche mixed with 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk.

How many approx pancakes does this recipe make? Can the dry ingredients be stored until needed?

About 10-14 (depending on the size). You can store the dry ingredients mixed together until needed, probably in a container in the fridge or freezer (which is where I store cornmeal and flax seed meal).

Thanks. I too store flour and cornmeal in the freezer. One more question that I forgot to ask is that I have stoneground cornmeal. Do I need to get a different type that says fine ground?

You want corn meal, not grits or polenta. If it’s fine like flour (or the sand in an hourglass), use it. If it’s more coarse than you’ll have gritty pancakes.
