Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups white or yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg (lightly beaten)
1 cup water (plus more if needed)
1/4 to 1/3 cup mild-flavored vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a second bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk the egg and 1 cup water until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, using as few strokes as possible. The batter should be soupy but not watery.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Ladle 1/4 cup of batter into the heated skillet for each cake, being careful not to crowd the skillet. When the batter hits the hot oil, the edges will sizzle and become very crisp.
  • Cook the cakes until the bottoms are a rich brown and bubbles form on the tops and along the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. For best results, be sure to cook the cakes until the edges are deep, rich, golden brown.
  • Serve immediately, flipping those little babies onto a plate and passing them along while you fry up the remaining cakes, adding oil to the skillet as needed.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces plain flour (all-purpose)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces fresh sweet corn kernels, cut from the cob
1 egg, beaten
4 fluid ounces milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
Rashers bacon and maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, paprika, and salt into a bowl. Combine the corn, egg and milk, add to the flour mixture and mix well. Then add the butter.
  • Spoon onto a hot griddle, using 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture for each cake. Cook until bubbles show on the surface, then turn the cakes over and cook the other sides until golden brown. Serve with crisp rashers of bacon and maple syrup.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect consistency for your corn griddle cakes, ensure the batter is not too thick or too thin. Adjust the amount of milk or water as needed.
  • For a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, ensure your griddle or pan is hot enough before pouring the batter.
  • Avoid overcrowding the griddle or pan, as this can prevent the corn griddle cakes from cooking evenly.
  • To retain moisture and prevent dryness, do not overcook the corn griddle cakes. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat once they are golden brown.
  • Experiment with different toppings and fillings to create unique flavor combinations. Sweet or savory options are endless, so get creative!
