Sweet Milk Griddle Cakes Pre 1940s Food

SWEET CORN GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, sugar and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and mix until combined.
• Whisk the buttermilk, milk, and yogurt in a separate bowl until combined.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking soda and baking powder in another bowl and mix with a fork until combined.
• Add the buttermilk mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined. Remove from the stand mixer and fold the flour mixture in by hand, followed by the melted butter, until combined.
• Heat a griddle (or skillet) with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil until hot.
• Portion out 1/4 cup of the batter and cook until bubbles form over the griddle cake, then flip and cook until dry. Repeat with the remaining batter.

CLASSIC PANCAKES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat egg with wire whisk until fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients just until flour is moistened (batter will be slightly lumpy); do not overmix or pancakes will be tough. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly on top and dry around edges. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.

JOHNNY GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, honey and egg yolks together in another medium bowl until combined. Whisk the egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites, and then 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix until the batter is just smooth and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick saute pan, cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with some of the remaining melted butter. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the pan for each johnny griddle cake. Spread the batter slightly just to even out the top using a small offset spatula. Cook until lightly golden brown on each side, about 1 minute 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
