cornmeal molasses pancakes

Uuuuugh, pancakes again???
Oh, but these are so good.
I should really just have a breakfast tab.
Or, even better! a pancake tab.
That way I can find my recipes easier!

Anyway, I love pancakes with just a hint of sweetness in the batter, as well as on top.
And I love the texture that the cornmeal gives these...slightly crunchy, which, I know, is odd for pancakes.
But, surprisingly, delightful!

Just try 'em.
I know you'll like 'em.
