Corncakes are a versatile dish made primarily from cornmeal, eggs, milk, and a touch of sugar, often cooked on a griddle or skillet until golden brown. Originating from Native American cuisine and celebrated in Southern and Appalachian traditions, these savory or slightly sweet treats offer a hearty and comforting flavor. Corncakes are a good source of complex carbohydrates and provide a moderate amount of dietary fiber, especially when made with whole-grain cornmeal. They can also be rich in essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. However, traditional recipes may include butter or added sugars, which can increase calorie and fat content. Corncakes pair well with fresh vegetables or lean proteins, making them adaptable to a balanced diet. For a healthier version, try reducing added fats or choosing whole-grain cornmeal for an extra boost of fiber and nutrition.
