Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter until combined.
Then gently fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture. Let rest for a few minutes while you heat the griddle.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle and cook until the surface has several bubbles (1-3 minutes). Then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
To keep warm, place the cornbread pancakes in the oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
If desired, top the cornbread pancakes with whipped cream, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey!

Notes

Store the leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freeze: Separate the pancakes with pieces of parchment or wax paper so that they don't stick together. Then wrap tightly and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Reheat: You can reheat the pancakes in the oven or microwave! Reheat on a baking sheet at 350°F for 5-10 minutes or until warm. Or reheat in the microwave for 20 second intervals until heated through.
