BUTTERMILK CHEDDAR CORN CAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
• Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
• Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.

STEAMED CORNBREAD/CAKES

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
• Add half of the water and continue mixing.
• Gradually add the remaining half until the ingredients forms a slightly sticky dough(NOTE: since corn flour doesn't have gluten, the dough is not as well formed compared to using 100% wheat, so you can expect it to not stick together and will see separate pieces).
• Shape the dough into 8 individual balls and flatten them out into round patties approximately 1-2 cms thick.
• Put them in a steamer and steam for 10 minutes on high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium when you can see the steam coming out, and continue steaming for another 10 minutes.
• Remove immediately from steamer after they're done since they tend to be sticky at the bottom.

SWEET CORNBREAD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour in the vegetable oil, melted butter, honey, beaten eggs, and milk, and stir just to moisten.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, until the top of the cornbread starts to brown and show cracks.
