About the Recipe

Ingredients
Ingredients (serves 6–8 | ~12–16 cakes)
Base
1½ cups corn meal mix (from Farmers Storehouse)
1 cup biscuit mix
2 large eggs
1¼ cups milk (or buttermilk / dairy-free milk)
¼ cup melted butter, ghee, or avocado oil
1 Tbsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
Flavor Boost (choose)
½ tsp sea salt (if mixes are low sodium)
½ tsp cinnamon (sweet version)
¼ tsp paprika or black pepper (savory version)
Preparation
How to Make (Skillet or Griddle)
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together corn meal mix and biscuit mix.
Mix wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted fat, and honey (if using).
Combine gently
Stir wet into dry just until combined. Batter should be thick but pourable.
Too thick → add milk 1–2 Tbsp at a time
Too thin → sprinkle in biscuit mix
Heat pan
Heat cast iron or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease.
Cook
Scoop ¼ cup batter per cake.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and set.
Rest briefly
Let sit 2 minutes before serving—centers finish setting.
