Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Once the oil is hot, drop 2 tablespoons of batter per corn cake into the skillet, spreading slightly to form a pancake shape.

Cook the corn cakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
