1 c Yellow Cornmeal
1/2 c All Purpose Flour
1 ts Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking Powder
1/2 ts Baking Soda
1 c Buttermilk
1 lg Egg
2 tb Vegetable Oil
1 c Maple Syrup, Warmed
Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a
medium size bowl. Combine the buttermilk, egg and oil in a small bowl. Stir
the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture just until well blended
(the batter will still be slightly lumpy). Lightly oil the griddle or large
frying pan. Heat over medium high heat until a drop of water will dance
across the surface. Stir the batter and drop a test cake ( 1/4 cup of
batter) on the griddle. Cook until the bubbles burst on the top surface and
the bottom is light brown. Turn and cook the other side until it is browned
(1-2 minutes). (Add more buttermilk to the batter if the first cake does
not spread well.) Serve the griddle cakes with the warm syrup.
