CORNCAKES ON THE GRIDDLE



Corncakes on the Griddle image

This early-American dish is wonderfully simple and absolutely delicious. I learned to make it while working in a living history museum. Back when ovens were rare and most cooking was done directly over the fire bread came almost exclusively from professional bakers located in towns and cities. But women at home made a wide variety of griddle cakes as staple foods. Try a little edible history today. They go well with any meal where you might serve cornbread. Tip -- they are particularly handy when camping or even when grilling out because you can make them on your gas grill's side burner while tending to the steaks, burgers, or brats. Note -- In light of a few of the early reviews I would like to emphasize that these are not pancakes and will not have a fluffy, pancake texture. They are the hearty staple food of pioneer hunters, trappers, and farmers and are as different from a pancake as a black, peasant rye bread is different from Wonder bread. :)

Time 30m

Yield 20-30 cakes depending on size

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups cornmeal
1 cup unbleached white flour or 1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 eggs
2 1/2-3 cups milk
butter

Steps:

  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. It will be particularly convenient if you have one of those 2 quart measuring cups with the pour spout.
  • Beat the eggs into the milk or buttermilk.
  • Mix the milk-egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture. I find that a fork is a better tool than a spoon for this.
  • Note -- the batter will be a bit thicker than ordinary pancake batter but should still pour. Different types of cornmeal will make a thicker or thinner batter and it may thicken on standing as you cook -- making it hard to get the centers of the later batches done. Add more milk a little at a time if necessary.
  • Heat your griddle medium to medium-high. Butter it lighly and pour out batter to make cakes 3-4 inches across.
  • Cook until bubbles appear in the upper surface and the bottom is nicely browned. Turn and cook until the bottom is brown and the cake is cooked through. Reduce heat and/or add more milk to the batter if the centers aren't cooked before the outsides threaten to burn.
  • Butter the griddle very lightly between batches --just enough to prevent sticking and encourage browning but not enough to give them a fried texture.
  • Serve with butter, jelly, apple butter, or other favorite bread spread.

Time 25m

Yield 20 4 inch cakes, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup canned creamed corn
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup corn kernel, thawed if frozen
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
softened butter and honey, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°. In a blender, combine the buttermilk, heavy cream, creamed corn, whole eggs, egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of the oil and puree.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the cornmeal with the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Slowly stir in the wet ingredients and fold in the scallions, corn kernels and jalapeño. Do not overmix; there should be a few lumps.
  • Heat a large cast iron griddle or skillet. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil until shimmering. Spoon three 1/3 cup portions of the batter into the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until starting to brown around the edges, about 1 minute. Add 1 teaspoon of the butter to the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface of the cakes, about 2 minutes. Flip the cakes and cook until browned on the second side. Transfer them to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining oil, batter and butter. Serve the corn cakes hot, with butter and honey.

Tips:

  • Use all-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for griddle cakes.
  • Add baking powder: Baking powder helps the griddle cakes rise and become fluffy.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to the griddle cakes and helps them to be moist.
  • Use melted butter: Melted butter adds flavor and richness to the griddle cakes.
  • Season the batter: Add salt, sugar, and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder.
  • Cook the griddle cakes over medium heat: Cooking the griddle cakes over medium heat prevents them from burning.
  • Flip the griddle cakes only once: Flipping the griddle cakes too often can make them tough.
  • Serve the griddle cakes warm: Griddle cakes are best served warm, with butter and syrup.
