Lacy-edged Batty Cakes

To make about 2 dozen

1/4 cup white cornmeal, preferably water-ground
1/2 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup bacon fat, or substitute 1/4 pound butter, softened

If you are using regular-ground cornmeal, combine it with the baking powder, soda, and salt, and sift them together into a bowl. If you are using water-ground cornmeal, pour it into a bowl and stir in the baking powder, soda and salt. Pour in the buttermilk and beat vigorously with a spoon until it is completely absorbed. Then add the egg and continue to beat until the batter is smooth.

Heat a heavy griddle over high heat until a drop of water flicked onto it steams for a second and evaporates. With a pastry brush, grease the griddle lightly with the bacon fat or butter.

Pour about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the griddle for each batty cake. Fry 4 at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cakes begin to bubble and the bottoms brown. Then turn them over with a spatula and brown the other side. Stack the finished cakes on a heated plate and drape foil over them to keep them warm while you fry the rest. Stir the batter before baking each batch of cakes and brush more bacon fat or butter on the griddle as necessary. Serve the batty cakes as soon as they are all cooked, as an accompaniment to turkey hash or like pancakes with butter and strained honey.
