Yield: 32 pancakes
Ingredients
For the relish
  • 2 lb small heirloom tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
For the pancakes
  • 7 oz all purpose flour
  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions
  1. To make the relish, combine the tomatoes, basil, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside while you prepare the pancakes.
  2. For the pancakes, in a large bowl whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Stir into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with a layer of cooking spray or vegetable oil.
