2 c Cornmeal
1 c Whole-wheat flour
3 c Water
Mix all ingredients. Let rest for 6-8 hours to ferment. (Cover bowl and
leave on counter.) Using a small non-stick frying pan, ladle about 1/4 cup
of batter into the pan, and thinly spread. Bubbles will form immediately.
Do not turn until the cake has dried out a little. Loosen gently and turn
to cook on other side. The first side takes about 1 1/2 minutes, the other
side about 1 minute at medium temperature. Serve with a bean mixture
spooned over them, or use like a crepe.
HELPFUL HINTS: May be made without allowing to ferment. Follow the above
directions, omitting the time for fermentation. Stir batter often while
lad;ing, it tends to separate. Griddle cakes freeze well. Cook these, then
stack, wrap, and freeze. May be made several at a time on a griddle, like
pancakes. Griddle cakes are very difficult for beginners to make. With a
little practice they will turn out.
