From my well worn copy of Joy of Cooking. For just Jack and me, I make half a recipe (but use a whole egg). Usually make waffles, but pancakes are really good, too.
Note: If using powdered milk (I like Nido full-fat brand), increase boiling water to 1 1/2 cups, and add 2 Tbs. powdered milk to flour mixture.
- 1 c. corn meal
Place it in a bowl and add:
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. sugar
Stir in slowly:
- 1 C. boiling water
Cover and let stand 10 minutes. Beat together and add to the corn meal:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c. milk (or 2 Tbs. powdered milk plus 1/2 C. water)
- 2 Tbs. melted butter (I just add the unmelted butter after the boiling water)
Add and stir with a few swift strokes:
- 1/2 c. flour
- 2 tsp. double-acting baking powder
