the weather, and the economy sure have people staying in more these days. it seems as though all the 'rage' on foodie sites and magazines is telling home cooks what they can make at home- and how much less expensive that is than eating out. well, consider me a member of that train and consider this a recipe for buttermilk pancakes you should make this weekend, instead of going out and dropping $15 on breakfast.


Pancakes

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Mix the above until combined and sizzle up your griddle. If you really want to feel like you're out, add some butter to the pan. You'll notice the difference. Let them start bubbling then flip. Some real maple syrup and these are a winner.
