Kentucky Griddle Cakes

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 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

Recipe

• 1 mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another bowl.
• 2 stir the wet into the dry using a wooden spoon, mixing just enough to blend- don't overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.
• 3 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.
• 4 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.
• 5 cook until bubbles form and burst and the bottom is light brown, adjusting heat if needed to keep from burning bottoms.
• 6 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).
• 7 note: if batter is too thick, add a little more buttermilk.
• 8 serve with warm syrup.
