Categories     Sides

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups white or yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg (lightly beaten)
1 cup water (plus more if needed)
1/4 to 1/3 cup mild-flavored vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a second bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk the egg and 1 cup water until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, using as few strokes as possible. The batter should be soupy but not watery.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Ladle 1/4 cup of batter into the heated skillet for each cake, being careful not to crowd the skillet. When the batter hits the hot oil, the edges will sizzle and become very crisp.
  • Cook the cakes until the bottoms are a rich brown and bubbles form on the tops and along the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. For best results, be sure to cook the cakes until the edges are deep, rich, golden brown.
  • Serve immediately, flipping those little babies onto a plate and passing them along while you fry up the remaining cakes, adding oil to the skillet as needed.

FRESH CORN CAKES

Corn's always been the basis of my favorite recipes-in fact, these corn cakes were one of the first things I made for my husband. For dinner, they're nice with fresh fruit salad and ham. They're also great with breakfast sausage and orange juice. Tom works for the highway department on Mount Hood, and we live at its base. Our children are 19, 16 and 13.

BLUEBERRY-CORNMEAL PANCAKES



Blueberry-Cornmeal Pancakes image

This batter is thicker than normal, thanks to the addition of cornmeal. The bubbles that usually indicate when to flip a pancake will not form, so flip when the edges start to set.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Pancake Recipes

Yield Makes about 1 dozen 5- to 6-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for griddle
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups (1 pint) blueberries
Orange-Maple Butter, for serving
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, milk, butter, and egg. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined (mixture will be lumpy).
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toss blueberries with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Brush griddle with melted butter. Spoon batter onto griddle 1/3 cup at a time. Sprinkle with sugared blueberries, about 2 tablespoons per pancake. Cook until edges are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter and blueberries, adding more butter to griddle and keeping prepared pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven. Serve with orange-maple butter and maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or stone-ground blue cornmeal for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to whisk the dry ingredients together thoroughly before adding the wet ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the pancakes tough.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat before cooking the pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These blue cornmeal griddle cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weekend meal. The blue cornmeal gives the pancakes a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, and the buttermilk makes them light and fluffy. Be sure to experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
