Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter for greasing the griddle
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each corncake, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use a spatula to slightly spread the batter if needed.
Cook the corncakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the corncakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked corncakes to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the corncakes warm with butter, honey, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
