These pancakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more milk or yogurt to the batter next time.

Just tried this recipe and it turned out great! The pancakes were light and fluffy, and the corn and zucchini gave them a nice flavor. I served them with maple syrup and fresh berries, and they were delicious.

These zucchini cornmeal pancakes were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the sweet corn and zucchini gave them a delicious flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
