Very simple to make and very filling. The cornmeal griddle cakes are great with just butter and maple syrup or you can try them with flavored syrup. Strawberry is very good with this recipe as well.

CORNMEAL CAKE

Cornmeal Cake image

I have been using this recipe for many years and is the best I came across so far. Very easy to make, very moist and taste fantastic. Cornemeal cake is very common in Brazil , where I come from and goes very nice with a cup of fresh brewed coffee or even a nice cup of tea.

Categories Bread Cake Side Fry Cornmeal

Yield makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups white or yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup water, plus more if needed
1/4 cup corn oil, for frying

Steps:

To prepare the batter, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a second bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine the egg and the 1 cup water. Whisk until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, using as few strokes as possible.
To fry the griddle cakes, heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Ladle 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet. Repeat with additional batter, without crowding.
Cook the cakes until the bottoms are brown and bubbles form on the tops and edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
storing dry ingredients
To avoid insects in flour and cornmeal, transfer the product to a sealable airtight container immediately after purchase. To keep flour and cornmeal absolutely fresh, particularly if they are wholegrain (see page 202), store the sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer. Allow the flour or meal to come to room temperature before using.
