Griddled Corn Cakes

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 175g plain flour
  • 30g sugar
  • 100g stone-ground yellow cornmeal or polenta
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 180ml milk
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsps rapeseed or vegetable oil

Method

  1. Lightly coat a large griddle with cooking spray and set it to preheat.
  2. Take a large bowl and mix the plain flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt together with a fork. Create a hollow in the middle of these dry ingredients.
  3. In a separate small bowl, thoroughly whisk the milk, honey, oil, and egg until combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture from the small bowl into the well in the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the batter is just blended and no dry pockets remain.
  5. For each corn cake, pour 60ml of the batter onto the hot griddle.
  6. Cook the cakes for 2 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until they are puffed up, golden brown, and cooked through.
