JOHNNY GRIDDLE CAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, honey and egg yolks together in another medium bowl until combined. Whisk the egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites, and then 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix until the batter is just smooth and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick saute pan, cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with some of the remaining melted butter. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the pan for each johnny griddle cake. Spread the batter slightly just to even out the top using a small offset spatula. Cook until lightly golden brown on each side, about 1 minute 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
CORNMEAL GRIDDLE CAKES
Very simple to make and very filling. The cornmeal griddle cakes are great with just butter and maple syrup or you can try them with flavored syrup. Strawberry is very good with this recipe as well.

GRIDDLE CAKES
Over time I had developed a vague impression that griddle cakes (as opposed to pancakes) was made with cornmeal. I don't know if that is an accurate definition or not, but these are the griddle cakes that I came up with when I tried to make some. They are very good served with syrup or honey.

Steps:
- Lightly grease a heavy nonstick pan (i.e. spray with non-stick cooking spray), and start heating it at medium-high heat.
- Sift together the dry ingredients in one bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and butter.
- Now combine the dry and wet ingredients together, stirring just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Do not worry about getting rid of all of the lumps. (It is important to combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, and then combine them together to reduce the amount of time that the gluten in the flour has to toughen up.).
- Pour the batter onto the hot pan in about 4" circles.
- Flip the cakes when they get bubbly on the one side.
- Continue cooking until the bottom browns. I usually peek by pulling up the edge with a spatula.
- If the griddle cakes are cooking too fast, reduce the heat.
- Never flip the griddle cakes more than once as this will make them heavy.
- Serve the griddle cakes immediately even if this means that people have to eat at different times because there are not enough to go around when the first batch comes off of the griddles.
