Cornmeal Griddle Cakes

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Milk (Scalded)
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 Eggs
• 3 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Hominy (Cooked)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

1. 1Add hominy mixed with salt to boiling water and let stand until hominy absorbs water. This should take about 10 minutes.
2. 2Heat milk in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer (scalded). In a separate bowl, combine cornmeal, sugar, and butter.
3. 3Add scalded milk to cornmeal mixture, then add the hominy mixture. Combine well and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
4. 4Separate the eggs. In a small bowl, beat the yolks until thick. In another bowl, beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Add the beaten yolks to the cornmeal mixture. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
5. 5Sift in baking powder and beat thoroughly.
6. 6Heat a lightly buttered griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each cake. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
