Raised Griddle Cakes Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pancake Recipes. (Raised Griddle Cakes Recipe). This is a very old-fashioned version of cornmeal pancakes which rise overnight. It came to our family via my great grandmother and dates back to the mid 1870s. The cornmeal gives these pancakes a tiny hint of fried mush, a splendid treat that exceeds my patience to make.
