Classic Cornmeal Pancakes

Treat your family to a quick, tasty breakfast! I once bought a bag of cornmeal on a whim, and since I'd never cooked with it before, it sat unused for ages. Well, its turn finally came :) These pancakes are really tasty and filling — they taste a bit like sweet corn puffs.
