Ingredients

  • (1 cup) of cornmeal cornmeal
    256 mL
  • (2 cups) of flour
    512 mL
  • (1 1/2 teaspoons) of baking powder
    8 mL
  • (1/2 cup) of maple syrup
    128 mL
  • of brown sugar
    128 mL
  • of butter
    128 mL
  • (1 teaspoon) of salt
    5 mL
  • eggs
    2 unit

Method

1
In a large bowl beat eggs lightly to break the yolks as one would for scrambled eggs, then mix in the butter. Soften the butter beforehand if you must by heating it a little.
2
The butter/egg mixture should be loose. Add the sugar and maple syrup, mix well, then add the salt to the liquid mixture.
3
Mix the cornmeal and baking powder, then blend them into the liquids.
4
Slowly add the flour as needed to reach a proper cake batter texture. This should be softer than a cookie dough, able to stick to the mixing spool and come off in blobs. You may not need all of the flour, or may even need a little more based on your eggs and how closely you measured.
5
Pour into a greased pan and put into an oven heated to 200°C (400°F) and let bake for between 15-25 minutes.
