In a large bowl beat the egg until light and fluffy. Add in the milk, molasses and melted butter. Stir until combined.
In a separate bowl whisk the flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Add to the liquid mixture and stir to combine.
Let the batter rest while heating your griddle to low medium.
Take a 1/4 cup measure and scoop the batter into it, then pour onto the griddle. Cook the pancakes until puffed up and the pancake is cooked around edges. Flip and cook other side until golden brown. (to keep pancakes hot stack on hot plate with paper towels in between)
Notes
These are very dense pancakes and this recipe makes 2 medium-sized pancakes per person.
If you prefer sweeter pancakes, add a tablespoon or two of white sugar.
