Cornmeal pancakes

Just made delicious pancakes, note it needs buttermilk and makes quite a few:
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal (maize meal), unsifted
Beat egg white until stiff peaks form; set aside. Slightly beat the egg yolk in mixing bowl; blend in buttermilk and oil. Mix together the flour, soda, salt, sugar, and cornmeal; blend into the liquid mixture until smooth. Fold in beaten egg white. Let batter stand for 10 minutes. Bake on hot greased griddle until nicely browned on both sides. These cook a little slower than pancakes.

Serve with butter and warmed syrup. Also delicious with fried ham or bacon on the side.
Cornmeal pancake recipe serves 6 to 8.

Red Cabbage

Made this red cabbage recipe, but skipped the vinegar and sugar at the end. Put in a splash of balsamic instead.

Cloves, bay leafs and butter made cooked red cabbage fantastic. But would be good to try whole recipe.
