Country Ham Flapjacks with Maple Syrup

This seems more like a form of “hoe cake/johnny cake” (skillet fried cornbread), than a pancake; as it’s a cornbread mix not pancake batter. But it sounds delicious nonetheless!

This is such a delicious and perfect day-after christmas breakfast (or dinner if you slept in). it was our first christmas away from family so we bought a couple smoked turkey drumsticks instead of ham or turkey, and the smoked turkey worked perfectly in the place of ham in this recipe. We were also out of green onions, and I like spicy food, so I used diced green finger chilies and sauteed onions, which with the ham made it taste a little denver omeletty. In Newfoundland, I get my mum to send me jiffy corn muffin mix from the states, and this recipe alone is worth the shipping costs. Fast, quick, delicious, and rich without being too heavy. Love it!
