Bring the chicken broth and corn oil to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Still whisking, cook the cornmeal for 2 minutes.

The cornmeal will absorb the liquid and thicken like polenta.

Preheat over medium heat or if using an electric griddle set to 350 degrees F. If you want to hold the pancakes until serving time preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle for each pancake, allowing space for spreading, and use a spatula or the back of your spoon to lightly press the batter into rounds.

When the underside of the pancake are golden and the tops are speckled with bubbles that pop and stay open, flip over with a wide spatula and cook on the other side until light brown.
