I just made these! Wow! So good. Because I'm a recipe follower, I guessed at your measurements for baking powder and salt. Perfect guessing! Never made these before...But now these will definitely be included in future meals! Thank you for the simplicity of this video!
My dad always heated the griddle to about 375 and then waited till the bubbles were about 75% popped for a good cake. I don't know if others will like, but we always put a little less flower and went ahead and whipped the batter a little bit more because we loved the thinner cakes...Butter between each pancake, and a topping of good ole maple syrup would stick to your ribs until lunch time :)
Louise, did you try them? I'm a cornbread lover and thus the cornmeal pancake recipe. The only way to make cornbread better is to cover it with butter and syrup...right?? Best to you. DFM
Hi Maggie, I'm Maggie who is from Shanghai. I like your recipe. It's simple, easy and quick, which is I always prefer. I made some cornmeal pancakes last night. There're five ingredients I used, which are cornmeal, potato starch, some grounded ham, baking powder and milk. I also put pinch of black pepper, since I wanted some salty pancakes. ;)
That cool spoon looks more than a half a cup though. *Making these now. Thanks. *(Note: I saw someone mention Illinois. My wife Kimberlee designed your license plates with Lincoln's head on it and written in quill pen on top.)
Glad you like them! Man, that video was made back when my hair was black and I still worked a full time job. After a hard day at work and a 45 minute commute, these were a big reward for me to make for dinner. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
Hi Dirt Farmer Maggie, I'm Mekel and in the photo that's my fiance Lindon. Thanks for such an easy to follow recipe. We tried it and they came out pro-style :). Keep up the great work. God bless!
Caroline, we like having the crunch, I think you'd have to overcook the cakes to get the meal to completely soften. It's a trade-off. We think what you've done is the best way. Thanks for watching! Warmly, DFM
My kid has celiac, so we use a lot of cornmeal vs wheat flour. One trick to these grains is allowing the batter to sit for 10 minutes or so. It allows the water to rehydrate the grains a little more
Thank you for the video. AND thank you for the tip about oil not being needed. We use our own butter on pancakes too and having to have "oil" around for the mix is a nuisance and "yuck". NO MORE ! 8-) And about eggs .... (not "to chill or not to chill") IF you have ducks on your place, duck eggs make the most WONDERFUL baking eggs and when we have them we use them in all our baking and custards - a WORLD of difference. Best wishes to you and yours.
A couple of things. Why does it seem like this pancake batter is almost exactly the same as cornbread or corn dog batter? Wouldn't it be better to let this batter set for about 10 or 15 minutes so the corn meal has time to absorb some moisture so your cakes aren't so gritty? No margarine only real butter but you use a can of non-stick spray. 🤔
@thepatriotrocker8001 - good thoughts here. Indeed, letting the batter set for a bit would both let the batter rise a bit, as well as get more moisture into the cornmeal. Thanks for sharing! Best, DFJ
I'm sure you could, although we've not done that as we like the texture of the coarser corn meal. We like the "grit" of the meal. Corn flour is simply a much finer grind of the corn, so you will get the same taste, just a different texture. Give it a shot and then send us a note back telling us how it turned out for you. Best, DFMaggie
Thanks for watching and commenting Your gonna be happy. It's a nice, delicious combo of both. I think you'll be happy with the result. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
Tim, thanks for asking. I'll website is down for right now after coming under repeated attack. It appears that someone has gotten root access to the site and mess with it as they please. We will be reconstructing it and bringing it back up in the months to come. I appreciate you watching our channel, as well as writing! The best to you and yours - DFJ
Nothing showing the finished product...maybe topped with butter and maple syrup. Gotta show that plus show them being cut into to display the texture. Oh well...
Hi Faithful Watchman. Thanks for the comment and for watching. This was one of my first videos way back when I had black hair!! Glad you enjoyed the pancakes. Sometimes you just gotta have breakfast for dinner! Best to you, DirtFarmer Maggie
Jeffrey Hochstetter Jeffrey, my mother gave those to Maggie. Not sure where she got 'em, but they sure are handy. It was a 1/2 cup measure you saw in the video. I've looked for them since, but can't find more. If you find them, let me know and I'll make a video on them! Thanks for watching our videos at www.dirtfarmerjay.com!
Jeffrey Hochstetter Jeffrey - I did a further search and found them. They were difficult to find as they are not called "measuring spoons" - they are called "measuring scoops". The ones we have possess the Ekco brand. What I found online look identical but are under the Norpro brand. It looks like the stock number is 3064, stainless steel measuring scoops. The sizes are 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 Cup. I just found them on Amazon for about $22.50 plus shipping by entering Norpro Stainless Steel Measuring Scoops. Enjoy!
Hi Timothy. We have a hobby farm of 5 acres. We started calling Jay "the Dirt Farmer" way back and it just stuck. Thanks for watching and writing. Best to you, DirtFarmer Maggie.
Alison, thanks for watching AND for writing! To chill or not chill eggs depends on a couple of things. Australia, Japan, Scandinavia and the U.S. pretty much all chill their eggs, while the rest of the world does not. This is because these countries wash the eggs, which removed the natural coating of the egg (called the cuticle). This makes the egg susceptible to salmonella infection, so they need to be chilled. The upsides include cleaner eggs to begin with, and a shelf life that goes from about 21 days to 50 days. European countries generally don't chill because of an extensive vaccination program in the egg industry where the egg laying hens are vaccinated against salmonella (which can infect the ovaries of the birds allowing salmonella be in the yolk before the shell is formed). So, if the bad bug isn't in the egg to begin with, the cuticle will keep the egg viable (and edible) and disease free for about 3 weeks, allowing a reasonable time to eat them. We are actually producing a blog entry on this subject, with more detail and more situations to make determinations whether to chill or not. Thanks again for watching!
Very simple and good thank you for sharing, love the country eating in the city life
I absolutely love breakfast for dinner. Thx for posting
It's 730 am on an old farm in illinois, looking up cornmeal cake recipes because im starving... I'm going to try this out :D nice video

Thanks for letting me know! We love simple cooking where you can actually taste the ingredients. Enjoy! Regards, DFM

I have been looking for a simple recipe for this griddle cake.
Good job.
Thank you! I followed all these steps and turned out really tasty
That cool spoon looks more than a half a cup though. *Making these now. Thanks. *(Note: I saw someone mention Illinois. My wife Kimberlee designed your license plates with Lincoln's head on it and written in quill pen on top.)
Making these once again for breakfast. Yummy!
Glad you like them! Thanks for commenting. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie
Nice & easy recipe. Gonna make it for my kiddo. Thanks.

Wow! Great video, you cook like me, no recipe so I completely understood it all LOL!
It was easy I’m going to try them
Excellent. If you want less texture or grittiness, let the cornmeal sit in the wet mixture for about 10 minutes before cooking. Best, DFJ
Tried and loved them .. seriously amazing... however can you suggest or show this cornmeal pancakes without egg...
Now I know where Bethany gets her love of cooking! I'm Mari's Mom and I'm gonna make these for Father's Day Brunch!

Mekel Aaron Glad to meet you, Mekel and Lindon! Thanks for trying the recipe and writing! DFM
These are terrific!! They had a slight crunch from the cornmeal. Undercooked?? Thanks for the recipe. 🌹

do 2 tsp baking powder and they will be fluffy! also a thicker batter will make them fluffy, about 1 inch high!

Can it be done without baking powder
N G - yes, but you will get "flat" cakes as the powder gives it volume. Best, DFM
Cuál es la corn meal?
❤
Glad you liked it!
