Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

For syrup:
2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup apple jelly
3-inch cinnamon stick
For griddlecakes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup dried currants
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
2 large eggs
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make syrup:
  • Boil syrup ingredients in a large saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup.
  • Make griddlecakes:
  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, then stir in currants. Stir together yogurt and eggs with a fork in another bowl and stir into flour mixture with melted butter just until incorporated.
  • Heat a lightly greased large nonstick skillet over moderately low heat until hot. Pour 1/4-cup measures of batter into skillet in batches, forming 3 1/2-inch cakes, and cook about 3 minutes, or until undersides are golden. Turn and cook 1 minute more, or until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 250°F oven while cooking remaining cakes.
  • Serve griddlecakes with warm syrup.

I'm allergic to currants, so I substituted raisins instead. They turned out just as delicious.

These griddlecakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect for kids.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet breakfasts, but these griddlecakes were the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my griddlecakes didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These griddlecakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of cornmeal, but these griddlecakes were surprisingly good. The currants and apple-cinnamon syrup really made them.

These griddlecakes were a hit! The cornmeal gave them a slightly gritty texture that I really enjoyed, and the currants added a nice sweetness. The apple-cinnamon syrup was the perfect finishing touch.
