How to Make Griddle Cakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup yellow cornmeal, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 ¼ cups milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each cake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite syrup, honey, butter, or fruit.
