Guys All American Corn Cakes Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Skyduchess / All my dishes 8 months ago A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe and I just had to share it with all. This recipe was said George Washington’s favorite breakfast. The recipe is pretty much the same as from 250 years ago. The history lesson that came with it was a bonus.. Thanks Guy.....

Ingredients

2 cups cornmeal

2 eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

Pinch salt

Mix in milk to blend above ingredients into a batter.

Add a couple of tablespoons of honey to sweeten if you desire.

Directions

Ladle batter onto a hot griddle like you are making pancakes. I like an iron skillet.

Serve them plain, with honey on top…that was how George ate them, or put on syrup.

Recipe makes 10 six inch cakes.

The country folk I grew up around put an egg fried over easy on top and ate everything together. They stick by you all morning long.

I had to try these because I had never heard of them or had them. They were surprisingly good! I liked the fact that they weren't sweet. I put a fried egg on top. I also like the fact this recipe was really easy to cut in half, which is something I always look for. I would have had five cakes, but I ruined the first one. :) I took some pictures and will post them, if you like. Thanks!

This sounds so interesting! I love the history behind it! I just have one question...if I add the an egg on top, do I still serve it with honey or syrup on top also?

Thanks Frankie...for showing this in the 'I Made It' group!

I made this tonight for dinner instead of for breakfast! I made it as written...it took almost 4 cups of milk to get the batter to a pourable consistancy. I added 3 tbls. of honey to the batter. I didn't have a cast iron pan so I used a regular non-stick pan. I had to add a tiny bit of butter to the pan for each corn cake or they stuck to the pan. This is a very dense batter so it took twice a long to cook as it would for a pancake. I tried these corn cakes with syrup but I didn't like them that way, so I tried it with a fried egg on top, sprinkled with bacon salt and chopped green onions. It was sooo much better this way!!! I added my photo!
