Ingredients

  • 1 - 1¼ cup boiling hot water
  • 1 cup self-rising yellow whole grain cornmeal
  • ¼ cup green onion , finely chopped
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Instructions

  • Preheat a griddle (cast iron is recommended) until hot. You can also use a large cast iron skillet.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the cornmeal then 1 cup of hot water. Mix until combined. Add the green onion and cheese. Stir until just combined. The batter will be a little thicker than pancake batter. For thinner corn cakes, add more water, a little at a time.
  • Add the coconut oil to the hot griddle. Brush or swirl it around to coat the pan.
  • Drop ¼ cup portions of the batter onto the griddle. Cook about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is crisp. Serve immediately or reheat the next day in a toaster oven.
