  • 1/2 cup sweet cream for richness and flavor
  • 1 large egg well beaten
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda helps the cakes rise
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt enhances flavor
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal provides texture
  • 2 cups flour base of the griddle cakes
  • to taste butter for topping
  • to taste maple syrup for topping

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, sweet cream, and beaten egg. Whisk until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  4. Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir until just combined.
  5. Heat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  6. 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.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter for fluffier cakes.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes for better texture.
