Ingredients

4 servings
Sugar1 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
Buttermilk1 1/4 cups
Eggs2 large
Butter3 tbsp
Savory toppingas desired
Sweet toppingas desired

Method

1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2

In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until combined.

3

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be thick but pourable. Let rest 5 minutes.

4

Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly butter the surface.

5

Pour batter in 1/4-cup portions onto the griddle, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cook until the edges are golden and set, about 3–4 minutes.

6

Flip each cake and cook the second side until golden brown and firm, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

7

Serve warm with your choice of savory toppings such as cheese and bacon, or sweet toppings such as maple syrup and fresh berries.
