Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

For syrup:
2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup apple jelly
3-inch cinnamon stick
For griddlecakes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup dried currants
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
2 large eggs
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make syrup:
  • Boil syrup ingredients in a large saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup.
  • Make griddlecakes:
  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, then stir in currants. Stir together yogurt and eggs with a fork in another bowl and stir into flour mixture with melted butter just until incorporated.
  • Heat a lightly greased large nonstick skillet over moderately low heat until hot. Pour 1/4-cup measures of batter into skillet in batches, forming 3 1/2-inch cakes, and cook about 3 minutes, or until undersides are golden. Turn and cook 1 minute more, or until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 250°F oven while cooking remaining cakes.
  • Serve griddlecakes with warm syrup.

I'm not a big fan of apples, but I really enjoyed these griddlecakes. The apple flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other ingredients.

These griddlecakes are a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. I always have some on hand and it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

The apple-cinnamon syrup is the perfect complement to these griddlecakes. It's sweet and tangy, with just the right amount of spice.

I found the recipe to be a little confusing. It wasn't clear how much milk to add to the batter.

The griddlecakes were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little extra milk next time.
