Very simple to make and very filling. The cornmeal griddle cakes are great with just butter and maple syrup or you can try them with flavored syrup. Strawberry is very good with this recipe as well.

The kids wanted a sandwich for lunch. I was out of bread, so I made griddle cakes and boy were they happy I did. Use as an alternative to corn bread or do as I did and make a sandwich. Awesome!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 c self rising corn meal
1/2 c flour
1/2 c real bacon bits
1 Tbsp flour
2 eggs, beaten
3 Tbsp melted, butter
1 2/3 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix together the self rising flour, flour, sugar. Mix the eggs and butter with the buttermilk and add to the flour mixture and mix just until moistened. Stir in the bacon.
  • 2. Add a couple tablespoons vegetable oil to a hot griddle or iron skillet. Pour desired amount of batter into pan, I used about 1/2 cup per cake. Cook until golden on the bottom and bubbling on top. Carefully flip each cake to other side and cook for another minute or two. Serve hot!
  • 3. I made sandwiches and they were delicious. I used roast beef, cheese, juicy tomato, mayo, salt & pepper...so good! They loved them. They would be great made into a BLT! I'll be trying that next!

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor. Fresh cornmeal has a more vibrant flavor than store-bought cornmeal that has been sitting on the shelf for a while.
  • Grind your own cornmeal if possible. This will give you the freshest, most flavorful cornmeal possible. If you don't have a grain mill, you can buy stone-ground cornmeal from a health food store or online.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Buttermilk gives the griddle cakes a tangy flavor and helps them rise better.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the griddle cakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and the griddle cakes will be less likely to stick to the griddle.
  • Cook the griddle cakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the griddle cakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
  • Serve the griddle cakes warm with your favorite toppings. Butter, syrup, honey, and fruit are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal griddle cakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, cornmeal griddle cakes are a great way to start your day.
