Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick but still scoopable. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
Using a large spoon or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop portions of the batter onto the skillet, gently flattening them into 3–4 inch patties with the back of the spoon.
Cook each patty for 2–3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite dipping sauce.
