Griddled Corn Cakes

Griddled Corn Cakes (Thomasin Miers Mexican Recipe)

Made this twice now and it turned out really well. They look the same as American Pancakes and can be served in a savoury or sweet context. I prefer savoury. I think they would also be rather good with some chopped chilli and some finely chopped spring onion or chives or various herbs in them.

140 g plain flour
90 g polenta
1/2 tspn salt
2 tspn baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp brown sugar*
60 g melted butter**
300ml buttermilk or milk mix***
1 egg

Sieve flour, polenta, baking powder & bicarb together. Add salt and sugar. Mix

Make a well in the middle and mix through the egg.

Slowly combine the milk mix into the batter.

Add melted butter and mix through.

Cook in a medium warm non stick frying pan as you would an American pancake.




*recipe calls for 2 but I think it works better with 1
**(reduced from 75g because you remove 1 tbspn to lightly brush the frying pan during cooking but I tend to do a light brush of oil)
*** 250ml milk, juice of 1 lemon and make up to 300ml with yoghurt - set aside for 5 minutes before use.
