Zubereitung von Vanilla Cornmeal Griddle Cakes With Pears
- **Clarify the Butter:** Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the bubbling stops and the liquid is clear. Strain the butter through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids.
- **Cool the Butter:** Let the clarified butter cool completely.
- **Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
- **Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- **Combine:** Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
- **Add Pears:** Gently stir in the diced pears.
- **Heat Griddle:** Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- **Cook the Cakes:** Brush the hot griddle with 1-2 tablespoons of cooled clarified butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each cake.
- **First Side:** Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the tops are covered with tiny bubbles and the edges look dry and cooked.
- **Flip and Cook:** Flip the cakes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Serve:** Remove the cakes from the griddle and serve immediately with additional clarified butter and maple syrup, if desired. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
