Cracker Barrel-Style Pancakes

Recipe Description

These Cracker Barrel-Style Pancakes are my take on the famous restaurant chain’s classic pancakes. Cracker Barrel serves traditional Southern comfort food and what is more comforting than pancakes? Especially light and fluffy ones with crisp edges!

I make these by mixing buttermilk, melted butter and eggs in one bowl. Sift flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a separate bowl. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients. Cook the pancakes on a hot griddle or nonstick pancake pan and enjoy fluffy pancakes every time!

To make Cracker Barrel-Style Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:

I tried these pancakes last weekend and they are soooo good. The buttermilk really gives them a nice flavor. I made them for brunch and everyone loved them. The recipe is easy to follow too. I'll be making these again for sure.

FINALLY! Someone who knows they put corn meal in their pancakes. "Experts" out there have no idea. I asked years ago at Cracker Barrel and they gave me the recipe. Go Lilly!
