For a richer flavor, try using buttermilk instead of regular milk. A touch of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon can add a warm, inviting note to the batter. If you don't have a griddle, a large non-stick skillet works just as well. Leftover griddle cakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large mixing bowl, pour the cornmeal and cover with boiling water. Let stand, allowing the cornmeal to soften and absorb the water, for approximately 5 minutes.
02
Step
2 mins
Add the all-purpose flour, sugar, melted butter, baking powder, and salt to the softened cornmeal mixture. Stir to combine.
03
Step
2 mins
Gradually incorporate the milk and beaten egg into the mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
04
Step
1 mins
Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. This ensures the griddle cakes will brown evenly.
05
Step
1 mins
Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the hot griddle, leaving some space between each cake.
06
Step
5 mins
Cook the griddle cakes until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
07
Step
1 mins
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or a homemade compote.
