 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Yellow Cornmeal
    1/2   c            All Purpose Flour
  1       t            Sugar
    3/4   ts           Salt
    1/2   ts           Baking Powder
    1/2   ts           Baking Soda
  1       c            Buttermilk
  1       lg           Egg
  2       tb           Vegetable Oil
  1       c            Maple Syrup, Warmed

 Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder
 and baking soda in a medium size bowl. Combine the
 buttermilk, egg and oil in a small bowl. Stir the
 buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture just
 until well blended (the batter will still be slightly
 lumpy). Lightly oil the griddle or large frying pan.
 Heat over medium high heat until a drop of water will
 dance across the surface. Stir the batter and drop a
 test cake ( 1/4 cup of batter) on the griddle. Cook
 until the bubbles burst on the top surface and the
 bottom is light brown. Turn and cook the other side
 until it is browned (1-2 minutes). (Add more
 buttermilk to the batter if the first cake does not
 spread well.) Serve the griddle cakes with the warm
 syrup.
