RAISED GRIDDLE CAKES
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.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal and boiling water. Let soak for about 15 minutes. While still warm but not hot, stir in the flour, sugar, milk and yeast. Cover, and let rise overnight in the refrigerator.
- In the morning, mix in the eggs, baking powder and salt. If the batter seems too thin, add more cornmeal to thicken it up. If desired, set aside a cupful of batter for the next morning's batch of griddle cakes (see Cook's Note).
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Spoon pancakes onto the hot griddle, and cook until browned on each side. Serve at once with butter and syrup.

BOXTY (IRISH POTATO GRIDDLE CAKES)
An old poem about this fried bread says: Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan, if you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man. Serve with a tart apple sauce: or as part of an Ulster Fry, with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried bread, fried soda bread. Best fried in baking drippings.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice because they are starchy and hold their shape well.
- Shred the potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture from the potatoes as possible. This will help prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy.
- Season the potato mixture generously. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices you like.
- Heat the griddle or skillet over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
- Cook the pancakes in batches. Do not overcrowd the griddle or skillet, or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
- Flip the pancakes once, when the edges are golden brown and the bottoms are cooked through.
- Serve the pancakes immediately, with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, butter, syrup, applesauce, or eggs.
Conclusion:
Potato griddle cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can make perfect potato griddle cakes every time.
