Vanilla Cornmeal Griddle Cakes With Pears image

Found this in a magazine (don't remember which one) by Josh Feather's and sounds so good and so different from your average pancakes. Needed to save it here. Prep time includes making of clarified butter; I'm guessing at serving size as ti's not listed

I had some trouble getting the griddle cakes to flip without breaking. I think I might have made them too thick. Next time, I'll try making them thinner.

These griddle cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These griddle cakes are a great way to use up leftover pears. I had a few pears that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make these griddle cakes. They turned out so good that I'm now tempted to buy pears just so I can make these griddle cakes a
