Kentucky Griddle Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, honey and egg yolks together in another medium bowl until combined. Whisk the egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites, and then 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix until the batter is just smooth and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick saute pan, cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with some of the remaining melted butter. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the pan for each johnny griddle cake. Spread the batter slightly just to even out the top using a small offset spatula. Cook until lightly golden brown on each side, about 1 minute 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a medium size bowl.
• 2. Combine the buttermilk, egg and oil in a small bowl.
• 3. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture just until well blended (the batter will still be slightly lumpy).
• 4. Lightly oil the griddle or large frying pan. Heat over medium high heat until a drop of water will dance across the surface.
• 5. Stir the batter and drop a test cake (1/4 cup of batter) on the griddle.
• 6. Cook until the bubbles burst on the top surface and the bottom is light brown.
• 7. Turn and cook the other side until it is browned (1-2 minutes).
• 8. (Add more buttermilk to the batter if the first cake does not spread well.)
• 9. Serve the griddle cakes with the warm syrup.

Steps:

• Mix cornmeal,sugar, salt and soda in a large bowl.
• Add the mashed pumpkin, water and egg, and mix well.
• Stir in the melted butter.
• Grease a stove-top griddle or heavy frypan and heat until very hot.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the griddle or pan and fry until lightly browned, turning once.
• Serve with maple syrup, if liked.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
• In a separate large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, corn syrup, butter and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium low heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
• While pancakes are cooking, mix the icing. Combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and enough milk to make a liquid frosting. Drizzle frosting on hot pancakes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°. In a blender, combine the buttermilk, heavy cream, creamed corn, whole eggs, egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of the oil and puree.
• In a large bowl, whisk the cornmeal with the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Slowly stir in the wet ingredients and fold in the scallions, corn kernels and jalapeño. Do not overmix; there should be a few lumps.
• Heat a large cast iron griddle or skillet. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil until shimmering. Spoon three 1/3 cup portions of the batter into the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until starting to brown around the edges, about 1 minute. Add 1 teaspoon of the butter to the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface of the cakes, about 2 minutes. Flip the cakes and cook until browned on the second side. Transfer them to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining oil, batter and butter. Serve the corn cakes hot, with butter and honey.
