Steps:
- 1. Heat the milk and water in a large saucepan almost to boiling. Add the cornmeal in a stream, whipping until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
- 2. Add the remaining ingredients and beat well with a wire whisk. The batter will be thin.
- 3. Grease a 9 or 10-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan and heat over medium-high heat. Allow about 1/4 cup batter for each cake, enough to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook one cake at a time. Turn once when small bubbles appear on the surface.
- 4. Note: The batter tends to thicken toward the last of the cakes. If this happens, add a small amount of water or milk to restore the original consistency.
- 5. Additional batter cakes can be frozen between squares of waxed paper for future use. Thaw completely and warm slightly before using.
