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.

The kids wanted a sandwich for lunch. I was out of bread, so I made griddle cakes and boy were they happy I did. Use as an alternative to corn bread or do as I did and make a sandwich. Awesome!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 c self rising corn meal
1/2 c flour
1/2 c real bacon bits
1 Tbsp flour
2 eggs, beaten
3 Tbsp melted, butter
1 2/3 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix together the self rising flour, flour, sugar. Mix the eggs and butter with the buttermilk and add to the flour mixture and mix just until moistened. Stir in the bacon.
  • 2. Add a couple tablespoons vegetable oil to a hot griddle or iron skillet. Pour desired amount of batter into pan, I used about 1/2 cup per cake. Cook until golden on the bottom and bubbling on top. Carefully flip each cake to other side and cook for another minute or two. Serve hot!
  • 3. I made sandwiches and they were delicious. I used roast beef, cheese, juicy tomato, mayo, salt & pepper...so good! They loved them. They would be great made into a BLT! I'll be trying that next!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, finely ground cornmeal for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to grease your griddle or pan well to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These cornmeal griddle cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They're perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion.
