Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for cooking corn cakes
1 large egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained, optional
1 tablespoon dried chives
Serving suggestions: butter and maple syrup

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  • Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
  • Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.

Tips for Making Mamie's Teacakes:

  • Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your teacakes a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your teacakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your teacakes more tender.
  • Bake the teacakes at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help the teacakes to rise evenly and prevent them from overbrowning.
  • Don't overbake the teacakes. Overbaking the teacakes will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the teacakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Mamie's teacakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their light and fluffy texture and sweet, buttery flavor, these teacakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying dessert, give Mamie's teacakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
