GRIDDLE CAKES



Griddle Cakes image

Over time I had developed a vague impression that griddle cakes (as opposed to pancakes) was made with cornmeal. I don't know if that is an accurate definition or not, but these are the griddle cakes that I came up with when I tried to make some. They are very good served with syrup or honey.

Time 30m

Yield 10 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups skim milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a heavy nonstick pan (i.e. spray with non-stick cooking spray), and start heating it at medium-high heat.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients in one bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and butter.
  • Now combine the dry and wet ingredients together, stirring just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Do not worry about getting rid of all of the lumps. (It is important to combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, and then combine them together to reduce the amount of time that the gluten in the flour has to toughen up.).
  • Pour the batter onto the hot pan in about 4" circles.
  • Flip the cakes when they get bubbly on the one side.
  • Continue cooking until the bottom browns. I usually peek by pulling up the edge with a spatula.
  • If the griddle cakes are cooking too fast, reduce the heat.
  • Never flip the griddle cakes more than once as this will make them heavy.
  • Serve the griddle cakes immediately even if this means that people have to eat at different times because there are not enough to go around when the first batch comes off of the griddles.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1/4 cup more for frying

Steps:

  • Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites, and then 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix until the batter is just smooth and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large nonstick saute pan, cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with some of the remaining melted butter. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the pan for each johnny griddle cake. Spread the batter slightly just to even out the top using a small offset spatula. Cook until lightly golden brown on each side, about 1 minute 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.

RAISED GRIDDLE CAKES



Raised Griddle Cakes image

This is a very old-fashioned version of cornmeal pancakes which rise overnight. It came to our family via my great grandmother and dates back to the mid 1870s. The cornmeal gives these pancakes a tiny hint of fried mush, a splendid treat that exceeds my patience to make.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your griddle cakes. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your griddle cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will help it thicken and produce fluffier griddle cakes.
  • Cook the griddle cakes over medium heat: Cooking the griddle cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning the outside.
  • Flip the griddle cakes only once: Flipping the griddle cakes too often will make them dry and tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are dry and bubbles start to form on the surface.
  • Serve the griddle cakes immediately: Griddle cakes are best served hot off the griddle. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Griddle cakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect griddle cakes at home. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite way to enjoy these classic cakes.
