Kentucky Griddle Cakes

Directions

1. 1
   Mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another bowl.
2. 2
   Stir the wet into the dry using a wooden spoon, mixing just enough to blend- don't overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.
3. 3
   Heat a griddle,greased lightly with some additional oil or nonstick spray, over medium to medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto the pan.
4. 4
   Stir the batter again briefly (since it will have settled), and drop a scant 1/4 cupful of batter onto the pan for each cake.
5. 5
   Cook until bubbles form and burst and the bottom is light brown, adjusting heat if needed to keep from burning bottoms.
6. 6
   Flip over and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, just until browned (if you touch it with your finger, no imprint will remain).
7. 7
   NOTE: If batter is too thick, add a little more buttermilk.
8. 8
   Serve with warm syrup.
