Sour Milk Griddlecakes Recipes

CREAM OF WHEAT GRIDDLECAKES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, cream of wheat, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; set bowl aside. Whisk together the milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and stir in the wet ingredients. Do not overmix the batter.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/3 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

SOUR MILK GRIDDLECAKES

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients together.
• Beat eggs, add sour milk or buttermilk and melted butter; add to dry ingredients gradually, beating to obtain a smooth batter.
• Drop from a spoon onto a hot, greased griddle and brown on both sides.

SWEET MILK GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• Sift flour 3 times together with the baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
• Beat the eggs, add the milk, and pour slowly into the dry ingredients. Beat thoroughly and add butter. Drop by spoonfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle. When puffed full of bubbles and cooked on edges, turn and cook on the other side.

RAISED GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal and boiling water. Let soak for about 15 minutes. While still warm but not hot, stir in the flour, sugar, milk and yeast. Cover, and let rise overnight in the refrigerator.
• In the morning, mix in the eggs, baking powder and salt. If the batter seems too thin, add more cornmeal to thicken it up. If desired, set aside a cupful of batter for the next morning's batch of griddle cakes (see Cook's Note).
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Spoon pancakes onto the hot griddle, and cook until browned on each side. Serve at once with butter and syrup.

SCALLION GRIDDLECAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a blender or food processor blend milk, sour cream, egg, and 1/2 cup scallion until smooth. Add mixture to flour mixture and stir remaining 1/2 cup scallion until combined well.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and, working in 2 batches, drop batter by tablespoonfuls into skillet. Spread batter into cakes about 2 inches in diameter and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer griddlecakes as cooked with a metal spatula to a heatproof plate and keep warm. Makes about 8 griddlecakes, serving 2 as a side dish.
