Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine sugar, 1/2 cup oil, and eggs in a bowl. Stir in flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in 1/2 cup milk. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir to desired thickness.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the hot skillet; cook until bubbly on top and golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
