WILLIAMSBURG CORNMEAL BATTER CAKES
From the Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook, 1975 edition. These are good for breakfast with butter and sorghum, but also work like crepes for main dish recipes. I have seen them served topped with a slice of Virginia ham and a large spoonful of sautéed backfin crabmeat. Or you can fill them with creamed chicken and roll up like crêpes. We've even rolled them around grilled asparagus spears and topped with Hollandaise sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the milk and water in a large saucepan almost to boiling. Add the cornmeal in a stream, whipping until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
- Add the remaining ingredients and beat well with a wire whisk. The batter will be thin.
- Grease a 9 or 10-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan and heat over medium-high heat. Allow about 1/4 cup batter for each cake, enough to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook one cake at a time. Turn once when small bubbles appear on the surface.
- Note: The batter tends to thicken toward the last of the cakes. If this happens, add a small amount of water or milk to restore the original consistency.
- Additional batter cakes can be frozen between squares of waxed paper for future use. Thaw completely and warm slightly before using.

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S MORNING CORN CAKES
This is adapted from Crescent Dragonwagon's Cornbread Gospels. Dragonwagon cites Nelly Custis, Martha Washington's youngest granddaughter, gave an account of the first president's morning routine, which included getting up before sunrise, reading and writing until 7 a.m. in the summer, 7:30 a.m. in the winter, and then breakfasting on three of these cakes, "swimming in butter and honey."

Steps:
- The night before you plan to eat the corn cakes, combine 1 cup of the cornmeal, 1 1/2 cups of the lukewarm water, and the yeast in a medium-size nonreactive bowl. Whisk well; the mixture will be thin. Cover bowl tightly and let sit overnight in a warm place.
- The next morning, whisk in the remaining 1 cup cornmeal, salt, and one egg. Re-cover the bowl; let it stand 15-20 minutes (allowing the just-added cornmeal to absorb some of the liquid and soften a little bit).
- Check the consistency; it should be close to a thin pancake batter, not nearly liquid and not as thick as heavy cream. If you need to, add a little more lukewarm water to achieve this.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Oil lightly with a paper towel dipped in oil, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir batter well; using a ladle, pour 3-4 thin, 3-inch pancakes onto the hot skillet. Batter will spread out fairly thin; if it doesn't sizzle a little as you pour it, skillet isn't hot enough. If it sizzles a lot, you may need to reduce heat.
- Now watch closely. Almost immediately you'll see little bubbles appear throughout. When the top surface is completely dry and edges are beginning to curling, flip one cake. It should be golden-brown, and nicely speckled. Cook about 1 minute for the first side and 30-50 seconds on the second side. Repeat with remaining cakes and batter. (Making sure to stir batter occasionally so it doesn't separate.).
- Serve with honey and butter, if desired.
