Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1 whole large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the stone-ground cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or butter. Swirl to coat the surface evenly.
Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter for each corn cake onto the hot skillet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading. Use the back of the spoon to gently flatten the batter if needed.
Cook the corn cakes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set. Carefully flip each cake and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked corn cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the corn cakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as honey, butter, or syrup, or enjoy them plain as a savory side dish.
