Time 10m

Yield About 16 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup blue cornmeal (see note)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 small eggs, separated, whites beaten stiffly
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter, cooled slightly
Corn oil for cooking

Steps:

  • Blend together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  • Put the yolks in a small bowl and add the milk, stirring. Stir this into the cornmeal mixture. Add the butter and fold in the beaten egg whites. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Lightly coat the bottom of a nonstick fry pan with oil. When it is quite hot add about 1 tablespoon of batter at a time to the pan. Cook about 1 minute until browned on the bottom. Turn the cakes and cook about 1 minute on the second side or until neatly browned. Continue making cakes until all the batter is used.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my blue corn cakes didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. Any tips?

I'm intrigued by the use of blue cornmeal in this recipe. I've never cooked with it before. I'll have to give it a try.

These blue corn cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding a little more milk or butter next time.

I've made these blue corn cakes several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're moist and flavorful, with a crispy exterior. I love that they're made with whole wheat flour and cornmeal, so they're a bit healthier than traditional panc

These blue corn cakes were a hit at my brunch party! They were so easy to make and had a delicious, slightly sweet flavor. I served them with honey butter and fresh berries, and they were a perfect way to start the day.
