Ingredients

1. 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2. 3/4 cup cornmeal
3. 1 tablespoon sugar
4. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
5. 1 teaspoon baking powder
6. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
7. Pinch of salt
8. 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
9. 2 large eggs, beaten
10. 1/4 cup olive oil
11. 1/4 cup water

1. In a bowl, whisk the flour with the cornmeal, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the eggs, olive oil and water. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, leaving small lumps.
2. Set a griddle or skillet over moderate high heat and spray it with vegetable oil spray. When the pan is hot, spoon in 1/4-cup mounds of batter and spread to form 4-inch rounds. Cook the pancakes until the bottoms are browned and bubbles appear on the surface, 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Serve the pancakes warm.
