Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cornmeal
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Tomato
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely dice the tomato and place it in a bowl. Chop the fresh parsley and basil and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and olive oil until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced tomato, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the pan.

Step 7

Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart slightly.

Step 8

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove cooked pancakes and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired.
