Although butter and maple syrup are the standard condiments, you might want to try sorghum syrup, a Southern favorite.
Testers' Notes
• A whole-grain mix you can make ahead and have on hand for when you're ready for waffles? Sounds like heaven to us!
• Make sure you buy coarse whole-grain cornmeal. While the mix can be made with more standard yellow cornmeal—and is still a whole-grain recipe because of the rolled oats—the coarse cornmeal will make every forkful more toothsome.
• If you want to turn this mix into pancake batter, thin it out with about 1/4 cup additional milk—or maybe even a little more, depending on how dry the flours have gotten as they've sat on the shelf.
• Can't find whole-grain cornmeal? Grind coarse, whole-grain polenta in a large blender or food processor until it's the consistency of coarse cornmeal.
