1 cup ALBERS® Yellow Corn Meal
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Spoon 1/3 cup batter for each pancake onto a heated, lightly greased griddle or skillet; cook for about 1 minute, or until bubbles appear. Turn; continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup or applesauce, if desired.
