As the Pecar Family Reunion approaches (July 8th in Mancelona, MI) we all look forward to Jerry Pecar cooking up some hot griddle cakes dripping in Pecar Farm Real Maple Syrup. Posted here is Grandma Helen Pecar's Griddle Cake recipe, taken from the cookbook:
2 cups yellow corn meal
1 teaspoon salt
Scald with enough boiling water to make a little thinner than mush.
When cool, add:
The yolks of 4 eggs
3/4 of a cup of flour, sifted with
2 teaspoons of baking powder
and enough milk to make a thin batter.
Add the well beaten egg whites just before baking and
cook on a hot griddle.
Enjoy - - and Jerry, we are looking forward to you offering these up at the family reunion.
Helen Habarth married Gilbert Pecar September 25, 1924. She raised five children in her home. This BLOG is dedicated to her extensive collection of recipes. Helen kept her recipes in a large oak file box. Granddaughter Judy Pecar Crockett compiled many of the recipes, in Helen's own beautiful penmenship, into a cookbook titled: From the Kitchen of Helen Habarth Pecar.
