Kentucky Griddle Cakes image

I am not really sure why these are called Kentucky griddle cakes. When we lived in KY, I can't ever recall eating them. I got this recipe years ago when we lived in Kansas, actually. These are really good cornmeal pancakes. You may use white cornmeal too, but the yellow gives this a nice color.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons oil, plus
more oil, for greasing the pan

Steps:

  • Mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another bowl.
  • Stir the wet into the dry using a wooden spoon, mixing just enough to blend- don't overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • Heat a griddle,greased lightly with some additional oil or nonstick spray, over medium to medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto the pan.
  • Stir the batter again briefly (since it will have settled), and drop a scant 1/4 cupful of batter onto the pan for each cake.
  • Cook until bubbles form and burst and the bottom is light brown, adjusting heat if needed to keep from burning bottoms.
  • Flip over and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, just until browned (if you touch it with your finger, no imprint will remain).
  • NOTE: If batter is too thick, add a little more buttermilk.
  • Serve with warm syrup.

These griddle cakes are a classic Southern recipe that is always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I love serving them with butter and syrup, but they're also great with fresh fruit or whipped cream.

I'm not a big fan of pancakes, but these griddle cakes were surprisingly good. They were really easy to make and tasted delicious. I especially liked the crispy edges.

These griddle cakes were a hit with my family! They were light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior. The buttermilk gave them a tangy flavor that was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the maple syrup. I will definitely be making these again!
