Sweet Peach Pancakes

Sweet Peach Pancakes are light and tender pancakes with a little flavor of cornmeal. These southern pancakes are full of juicy, ripe peaches. Such a delightful breakfast!

I live in the heart of peach country, South Carolina, and there are multiple peach farms near my home, making me feel obligated to eat them at least a couple times a week. In other words, you’re going to see a lot of peach recipes this summer! (Note:Originally published June 28, 2013.)

Cornmeal In Pancakes

Sweet Peach Pancakes are a first for me. This is a recipe published in Southern Living magazine last summer and it’s wonderfully suited for a lazy, weekend summer morning. With a mixture of cornmeal and soft-wheat flour, these pancakes have the wonderful flavor of cornmeal, without being heavy. The cornmeal pairs perfectly with the sweet, juicy peaches and gives the pancakes a little bit of a gritty texture.

Soft Wheat Flour

The recipe calls for soft-wheat flour and you might be wondering what it is. Soft wheat flours contain a type of wheat that has a low protein content as well as a low gluten content. White Lily brand of flour is a soft wheat flour and is very popular amongst southerners for making biscuits and cakes. Martha White is another brand.

If you can’t find a soft wheat flour at your local market, you can order White Lily from Amazon or try a mixture of cake flour and regular all-purpose flour.

Sweet Peach Pancakes Recipe Tip

When pouring the batter, pour it slowly over the peaches and start at the outside corners of the peaches or the batter will move the peaches all over the place. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on each side and serve with whipped cream and maple syrup for a delicious, in-season Sweet Peach Pancakes breakfast.

Make Ahead

If you want to make the pancakes a little in advance, keep them warm in a 200 degree F oven.
