The Bread Bakers are sharing griddle breads today.......

Sneha of Sneha's Recipe invited us to share any type of bread baked on a griddle. I decided to share these tasty, filling corncakes that can be made with your leftover Easter ham.  

 #BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our lovely bread by following our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated after each event on the #BreadBakers home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. This month the Bread Bakers are making Griddle Breads, a theme chosen by Sneha from Sneha's Recipe.

Of course, you can make this delicious breakfast anytime you want.  You can use deli ham if you don't have leftover ham, but this is a meal I like to make when I am looking for a way to repurpose those holiday leftovers.

Ham and Cheese Corncakes

A hearty batter of cornmeal and flour, chock full of chopped ham and cheese, fried to a golden brown on a griddle and served up with fresh butter and hot maple syrup.  Life is Good!!

This recipe makes enough for 4 servings but is easily doubled.  Just place the pancakes into a low oven to stay warm while you cook up the rest.  With the ham and cheese included in the griddle cake this is a complete meal.  I like to serve up some fresh fruit as a side dish for them.

This is a nice change of pace when you are considering what to serve up for breakfast. My family loves them and I think yours will as well.

  2. I love the texture of a corn cake! It's something we don't get to enjoy very often unless I sub with millet due to sensitivities. Loved them while growing up!
