In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, sweet cream, and beaten egg. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir until just combined.
Heat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each cake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Stack the griddle cakes on a plate and serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
