Instructions
 

  • Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, rosemary, sage, and garlic powder together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs, and water together in a separate bowl.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. The mixture will be thick; do not add more buttermilk.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick griddle over medium heat, and spray with a pan release spray.
  • Using a 1/3 cup dry measuring cup or 3 oz ladle, portion 3 oz of batter onto the hot griddle, making 4 ½ inch corn cakes.
  • Cook until edges are set, and bubbles develop on the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, flip the corn cakes. Continue to cook second side for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown.
    Critical Control Point:
    Heat to 165 °F for at least 15 seconds.
    Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher.
  • Serve immediately. Serve 1 corn cake. Suggest serving with sour cream or corn salsa, and 1 oz smoked salmon slices.
